The risk If gas stays below your limit there is no payout and you've spent the price of the cap, like any insurance.

1 Which week do you want to protect?
No week is on sale right now.
Each week's caps are sold only in the 3 days before that week starts, so nobody can buy cover after seeing how the week is going.
2 How much will you use Ethereum that week?
= 1,950 million gas. Not sure? Count last week's transactions; a simple transfer is ≈21k gas, a swap or smart-wallet operation ≈150k.
