Runaway Agent Spend Control
Autonomous AI agents can enter runaway loops and burn unbounded API/token budgets before alerts or humans can stop them, with no per-run caps or approval gates.
In their words
once there were 200+ the agent started crashing and hitting the 1-hour time limit
My fear is one month getting hit with like a $300 bill because of a botnet
The cost of one unauthorized payment going unnoticed for a week is higher than the cost of any tool that catches it.
it ran 400 steps, re-read the same email thirty times and burned $80 in an afternoon.
one will retry something a bunch of times or keep adding context and suddenly that one run uses several times what a normal one does
I need to write or steal a TapTheBrakes hook that standalone watches spend and has kill authority over the agent process.
burned through $40 in a few hours because two agents kept fact checking each other endlessly
Opus 5 was told not even 20mins before this that no more gpu spend was authorized for the day and still chose violence.
an agent hit a retry path with no ceiling and burned about 400 dollars in tokens before anyone woke up
a timeout leaves you blind and a blind retry is a coin flip on double charging
Only caught it when the daily budget email came through at 6am, $260 in credits just gone
is there an industry-standard way to auto-kill a process the second it hits a specific cent/dollar threshold?
my main issue being that agents would go over daily budgets all too often

Why those fall short
- agent ignores spend instructions and works around guardrails
- context accumulates and workflows explode; concurrency and usage limits hit
- no spend limit or auto-halt toggle
- post-hoc monitoring misses runaways; caps risk killing legitimate long tasks
- no spend watchdog or kill authority; guardrails not built
