Is this one of those, Hey turn off the overcharge protection because you can go $50 into debt for free, and then maybe you'll just keep going and not notice you owe us an extra $500 type of situations?

I was worried about this when I turned it on myself, but under the usage panel it shows that it limited my spending to just the $50 and that auto-reload is off, so it doesn't seem this would be the case.

I turned on this overspend and limited the spending to $20. A day later I checked my spending, I had used "295%" of my limit. Almost $60. No idea why it didn't respect my setting.

There is also an Auto-reload option, I think it is off by default.

You guys are putting a lot of trust into vibe-coded software...

The underreported story is how we over-trust human-coded software.

Too true, lets not trust any software.

most slop is human slop, who do you think claude learned from :)

Nope. I'm putting a lot of trust in American Express and the continued availability of Claude competitors.
