Counterpoint: if you can automate API calls on the client side, why can't you automate billing caps? If you want a machine that can run 24-7 and make money for you while you sleep (which let's face it is the motivation for a lot of AI takeup), isn't the onus on you to install cicuit-breakers?

  Last time I checked it was impossible to get relevant info from API, for example for AWS.
  Or if there was info that was after potentially horrible expensive operation.
  That was blocking automated checking.
