Yet another good reason to use a pre-paid service.

There are many to choose from now, like Openrouter.com, PPQ.ai, and routstr.com.

You mean openrouter.ai. And yes, on reading this blog post, I immediately reviewed my API keys in OpenRouter to make sure that they were capped. My prod key was capped at $20/day (phew!) but my dev key had no cap, which I just updated. What a horrible story.

But isn't OpenRouter anyway prepaid, meaning the most you lose is your current credit?

		You can set it to auto top up if it drops below a certain amount. If you do that, then it would definitely be wise to add a cap. They let you add daily/weekly caps, which is convenient.
