I learned this the hard way with OpenAI last week. A key got hacked and a Chinese-language bot used $300 in tokens in an hour.

I had a spending limit on for $30, so why did it keep charging? Because the spending limit is meaningless without a hidden checkbox called “enforce spending limit,” which is (or at least was for me) off by default.

To OpenAI’s credit, they refunded the money.
