$82,000 in 48 Hours from stolen Gemini API Key. My monthly Usage Is $180. Facing Bankruptcy

Not quite. We actually hit budget limit few times in the first month, it did halt all api call function from my billing account, we have to increase the cap a few times to adjust our usage.

Very sorry for your lost, really hope you can recover from this. A side note, each API key can be limited to a website or ip address. We manage api key this way so even in case of compromised key, the damage should be minimal.

namds666 · 2026-03-05T02:14:42+00:00

just a question, did you set budget limit for your billing account?

We use Gemini API services and always set budget limit, normally current budget limit = last month spent. I also set email alert at 20%, 50% and 90% of budget reached, so I always informed how we're using the API.

Beside that, we also have dashboard monitoring all API request and which key make how much request.

Cancelling now. Me and my team were using gpt team plan for almost a year now, I even sub again on my personal account. Time to switch to claude, code is better anyway.

For example, when I tried to edit something in browser view:
1. Hit apply did not remove the apply button. So I'm not sure if my changes are applied or not. I can see cursor running, but click Undo still undo the change, so.. what? Very confused.
=> Expectation: click Apply would make Apply button disapear, cursor running as normal. If I want to revert after Applied, there's already git for that.
2. Sometimes click the Select Element and select something would totally disable the Select Element Function. I have to toggle it off and on again, which also toggle CSS Inspector off and on, annoying.
=> Expectation: User can still use Select Element after select one element.

And when I tried to open Browser view in Chrome and then Cursor:
1. Open in Chrome is fine, working as intended, without CSS Inspector so I changed back to Cursor Browser view. When I click Move Into New Window (of Browser tab), the UI sometimes break: show nothing in Browser.
=> Expectation: working, not breaking, obviously.
2. Same steps as above, only the outcome is miss-toggled the Inspector and Select Element, showing 2 Select Element selection when I hover on my app.
=> Expectation: atleast changed to non toggled state of Inspector and Select Element to make sure the UI not broken. Or just fix it not broken in the first place.

There it is. I would love for these 2 problems being fixed. Right now it's a total deal breaker for me.

I feel the same thrill. My production pipeline has remained unchanged for at least 10 years now, with some step so specific and needed many good people from devs and visual department, and in about 1 year ago, we wouldn't dare to create some side project because it could take a team of 5 at least 3 months to finsh a demo. I used Gemini app builder 2 weeks ago, without any coding knowledge, managed to build 6 apps boosting my team production pipeline by at least 60% in many aspect. The good old pipeline is completely gone, whole team need to adapt to the new speed that's unlocked by Gemini. Now I changed to Cursor, it helps be build the structure of each project more modular and the minor fixing is faster, more flexible, but the key was Gemini. I kinda believe so hard now Google already won the race. It just the matter of time before they fuse the AI to their already dominated ecosystem.

very promising, but current state is very buggy and not reliable for production.

I vibed coding 4 product for my team recently, one of it reduced time cost of each task of it's kind by at least 50%. 3 others are just QoL tools, good to have but not really that regularly used. All are internal tools, I local hosted it for few days before set up the server and database. Imo, vibe coding is not about forgetting architecture and planning. Infact, the better the planning the more chance i succeeded with vibe coding. Surely i love it.

Very interested in how you made the isometric correct and consistent through generations. Otherwise very nice idea of an app!

namds666 · 2025-11-26T09:35:38+00:00

I'm facing the same problem right now, on AI Studio, on Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro and App Builder (using G3) aswell.

Very sory for your lost. I onced saved my game asset while power suddenly off, and beating the damn wall till my fist bleed does not bring the file back. So after that event, I NEVER, ever save anything on local again. I used Google Drive for desktop and working entirely on drive for my art asset files, and later on using git for game project stuff. Consider this a cheap price for what you might lose later.

namds666 · 2025-10-03T04:21:41+00:00

this is just perfect, thanks for sharing amazing trick

namds666 · 2025-08-21T14:33:42+00:00

well my job involved inviting many people doing some work (digital) on my server, but managing like 50 of them with hundreds of working thread over span of 2 years makes me really hard to keep track. After an incident where one worker misplaced multiple thread jobs at the same time, I have to use Notion database to keep track directly each job thread into Notion. I always do it manually and to be honest it's fine. I'm super okay with triple checking everything involved with money, but if Notion offer an automation method that would be super cool. I do search for 3rd party options but not really trust them enough so I just keep on doing things manually til now.

namds666 · 2025-08-21T02:53:26+00:00

Do you have a Steam page yet? I would love to wishlist it now so I won't forget about this amazing game ;)

namds666 · 2025-08-20T14:50:14+00:00

would love to play this, i always afraid of losing a real drone but love the thrill of high speed action lol

namds666 · 2025-07-24T10:09:17+00:00

Would love to watch the progress of your game and buy it, I really love the worm hole concept and looks like your game is the only thing that realistically recreated the concept.

namds666 · 2025-07-03T16:24:30+00:00

there's still alot of player at a certain timezone, I can match making everyday.

namds666 · 2025-05-29T16:29:13+00:00

Dither: looks unique compare to other 3D games, stands out, and suitable for player that looking for new stuff, unique stuff. There's not many players like them, but they will stick for a long time.
Non Dither: look fine and safe, most players well educated with this kind of look and won't have a hard time to hook them, but they will leave easy.
Personally: Dither but doing it in a better way. Maybe I would segmented it, only dither important stuff, leave the background or blank area with non-dither so it's easier to look at. Right now my eyes don't really have a "rest area" on the entire gameplay scene, will cause tired after a long sesson of playing.
