    Does openAI not support spending caps on your billing account?

      There was a limit spent setup on my bank, however the crazy part is that one of the Agent somehow switched between cards once that limit was reach, all without informing me, probably using the computer use skill.

        Call the police. That’s wire fraud and theft.

          Done. Italian Police is responsible for investigating digital frauds. I have also notified the GDPR authority to request the digital records of the transactions.
