Spending alerts that let 10,000+ requests through aren't limits.

They're just receipts for your L.

LLM providers excel at one thing: telling you after you've already blown your budget.

Actual enforcement? That's where they ghost you.

If the request clears after your "limit" hits, you never had control. Just UI theater to make you feel safe while your wallet bleeds.

Real risk management means requests get blocked at the gate, not flagged in a dashboard 3 hours later when you're already down $5k in API calls.

Stop trusting alerts. Demand hard stops.
