Account billed $1,100 after hard monthly cap was removed
A user reported a $1,100 bill after the platform's hard monthly spending cap was removed, turning the budget setting into a notification rather than an enforced limit.
A spend limit was set but not honored by the provider, so the agent kept spending past it. The fix is an independent, deterministic pre-spend check outside the provider's billing. independent per-tx cap would have rejected or flagged this transaction before any money moved.
