| Someone on the Google subreddit did report getting a 80k bill yesterday from a Gemini key. I’m very careful with Google and co since they’re so intent on infinite scaling access to your wallet |

| This and problematic Gemini pro availability are why I pay for two other ai services and won’t pay google. |

| ▲ | StilesCrisis an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | That's... pretty much how every free trial works? Try signing up for a free month of Amazon Prime or Netflix and see what happens. The entire point of the promotion is retention. | | |
| ▲ | marcosdumay an hour ago | parent [-] | | AdSense doesn't present itself as a permanent service you stay subscribed to. (Or at least didn't at the time I've tried to use it. That may have changed, but we don't know when the GP tried it either.) | | |
| ▲ | hparadiz an hour ago | parent [-] | | It wasn't a subscription. My expectation was that it would simply stop once it hit $0. Not really here to argue about it. The tldr is I don't trust Google with this stuff anymore. |

| I think GCP has a setting for max monthly spend and is enabled by default |
