If I set a limit, and you cut off my service because I reached the limit, I would definitely not "complain just as much" as if I set a limit and you allowed me to spend past it.

We're not talking about an EC2 or EBS volume here, this is access to an API.

Meh, you probably would complain. Maybe you forgot you set it. Now your project is taking off, making money, and it got nuked.

Why aren't we talking about an EC2 - is that not a cloud compute service? People have been complaining about cloud billing since long before LLMs.

Anything to say about the technical problem of constantly monitoring many services against a project or account-level limit?
