I recently signed up for an OpenAI API key, and by default they enforce a quota after which they disable the key, and when you’re ready to serve more requests you increase the quota manually. I’m surprised to learn more companies don’t do this by default to save everyone from these kind of surprise bills. Although now that I think about it, I suspect there are lots of cases where the users just end up paying these.

The difference is that for OpenAI, inference costs them real money so they have skin in the game. When Netlify overcharges 1000x for bandwidth, they don't actually care if you don't pay because it cost them next to nothing to provide the service.
