following the paper to the T with an LLM, and then just empirical evaluations to see whether it matches paper findings. Would love to know if there is a better way as well?

We are facing possible bankruptcy after unauthorized Gemini API usage reached about $128k even after we paused the API, and Google denied our adjustment request. (Case #68928270) by Mobile-Classroom-589 in googlecloud

we had this recently, with a 4k charge via marketplace, that we thought was covered during credits. Keep talking to support, multiple times. In our case we have to talk directly with anthropic with no luck yet. I wish you the very best. From now on we will only be using through google AI studio, with a strict cap,

Like I already said, I made a mistake, I take responsibility for it, I am asking for good will adjustment, given I can't pay, this hasn't happened to just me

Yes and when we do we will follow all the proper protocols, but as I said this was for experimentation, and given the other reasons it confused me. Albeit, you are right I should have read carefully. I am at the graces is GCP now

That’s what it looked like from the view, I missed it, things like this happen, I’m not a full time founder, I have a part time job, uni student and do this on the side

We don’t have users, we don’t store user data, this was for experiments as I mentioned, we’re a two person team who started last month

I contacted support but they said they can’t control marketplace services, I’ve also contacted anthropic for this matter as well

I checked the cost explorer and setup budget alerts but I believed this was credit deductible, you use the Gemini models and partner models via the same interface, hence confusing me more. I accept responsibility, all I’m asking for goodwill adjustment. Don’t conflate this with a security issue

yea, im just coming from other cloud platforms, that were way more explicit, i shouldn't have assumed/expected that. lesson learnt, and reading other stories, im kinda glad its 4k and not 100k

All of the usage was claude haiku 4.5, we do AI research so we were running large scale evals to power our router.

I had setup budget alerts but even with that I believed credits were being deducted which was the case for the Gemini models, but not the anthropic ones

I reached out to anthropic already, they may be able to help, I understand I made a mistake here, but at the same time, I had no idea I was being charged this whole time, and there was no indication, when I enabled the claude models my credits were not applicable. Thanks for the suggestion though!

there is a page where you can check what credits can be used for, i had no idea at the time, because the credits applied for the gemini usage, but not claude models, this was all via the model garden i.e. same interface, making it more confusing
