Pamela Chia e09a663292 fix(billing): clarify service restriction reset delay after billing cycle (#44122)
## Summary

Customers were upgrading to Pro to clear service restrictions, unaware
that restrictions aren't lifted immediately when the billing cycle
resets — there's a delay. This adds a clarifying note to both the docs
FAQ and the Studio restricted alert so users know what to expect.

Note: upgrading your plan or disabling spend cap *does* lift
restrictions immediately (unchanged). The delay only applies to the
billing-cycle-reset path for usage-limit violations.

## Changes

- `billing-faq.mdx`: Removes the implication that restrictions clear the
moment the billing period resets; adds "Note that there may be a short
delay after your billing period resets before restrictions are fully
lifted"
- `Restriction.tsx`: Updates the restricted alert to make clear that
upgrading lifts restrictions immediately, while the billing-reset path
may have a delay

## Testing

To test the Studio banner, find or create an org with
`restriction_status === 'restricted'`, or temporarily hardcode
`shownAlert = 'restricted'` in `Restriction.tsx` to preview:

- [x] Restricted alert reads clearly and distinguishes immediate
(upgrade) vs delayed (billing reset) paths
- [x] Docs FAQ answer under "How can I remove restrictions" reads
correctly with the new caveat

## Linear
- fixes GROWTH-704
