API overcharging massively

Thank you Sukhman for your support.
Yes I deleted the keys and took off my card details from the system in a few minutes.

I was using the API to build a chatbot but I do not actually think the API was hacked. I think the OpenAI just multiplied queries within a few seconds/minutes on a massive scale within the app I was building…

My surprise and disappointment comes from the fact that OpenAI overran the usage limit massively and increase my user tier limit all this within a few minutes. That’s not normal. I signed up for a limited liability of USD $120.

If I had not seen the charges coming in by email it could have continued to 10000 dollars or more… All limits set by OpenAi were off!
