As indicated here, Spotify slyly uses my bandwidth to provide other users with the service. Is there a way to limit the upstream traffic from Spotify so that my non-unlimited bandwidth is conserved?

I regularly run both Windows 7 and Ubuntu and I know that I can't entirely block upstream traffic, but I would like to limit it to ~30-50 kbps.

Not from Spotify.

There are ways to do that with other software, however: Ubuntu has for example trickle and Windows has Netlimiter.

It might be possible to limit this traffic with your router's Quality of Service function if there is such.
