1Mbps for video is rule of thumb I use. Of course that will depend on customer expectations. 500K can work, but it won’t be pretty.

For normal video I think that's a good rule of thumb.
For mostly-static content at 4fps you can cut a bunch more bitrate corners before it looks bad. (And 2-3 JPEGs per second won't even look good at 1Mbps.)
For mostly static content like screencasts by dropping duplicate frames and producing variable framerate h.264 yuv444 videos with lossless encoding I was getting <100 kbps files for 1024x768 resolution more than a decade ago.
>> 10Mbps is still way too high of a minimum. It's more than YouTube uses for full motion 4k.

Unqualified claims like these are utterly meaningless. It depends too much on exactly what you're doing, some sorts of images will compress much better than others.
