Well I learned how API spending thresholds work. You can setup a threshold for when you hit the certain price but it doesn't stop you from spending. So you end up getting 50% to threshold, 100% at threshold, 150%, 200% etc. emails. And if you're not looking at your phone, you don't know 🥹 I was assuming I'd hit my $50 threshold and it would stop working. Nope. 😭

This is why you should be able to pay with Lightning (NWC) and set a fixed budget, otherwise only use a prepaid debit card that you have to manually reload.

ppq.ai but not sure it works with cline

Prepaid cards (or virtual numbers if privacy isn't a concern) are how I've been budgeting subscriptions for a while. A virtual card set to a $1 limit and 2-month expiry lets me sign up for trials etc. & never pay.
