Hi, it would be nice to be able to limit inference API spending.
I like the simple OpenAI system: soft and hard limit.
Would be useful, especially when someone makes the mistake of an infinite loop calling the API

Second this - a hard limit to billing would be fantastic

Actually hard and soft limit, i.e. to get warnings after exceeding soft limit (so one can e.g. reconsider budget, change app usage or whatever e.g. to stay operational, or increase hard limit before it kicks in) , and ofc hard limit for safety reasons!

Yes to both - I’d feel safer knowing I’d get en email notification if an improperly configured experiment starts blowing through our budget.
This feature is definitely overdue

Think how easy it is to implement ‘if expense > limit then stop & send email’… it’s not an oversight.

Any news on this front? The lack of a billing limit makes me afraid to use HF Spaces as a private user. What if my apps go viral and I have to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars?
Yes, I agree. I want to build a public app and this is an essential feature.
