deny_info operates when access is denied... thus its name. Delay pools
does not particularly deny anything, it just *delays* traffic I/O to
maintain a certain speed profile.

You need something like "http_access deny testuser".

For presenting it on some dynamic criteria like bandwidth exceeded we
generally use a external_acl_type helper to calculate the timing and
present an ERR response. With squid.conf containing something like this:
   external_acl_type foo ...
   acl testuser external foo
   http_access deny !testuser
   deny_info ... testuser
