Google has decided to hide my message to you all about my billing dispute for $3700 of unauthorized use of my gemini api keys. I think this is unfair and hope they won’t take this one down so you all know you can be wrongly charged for use of your keys. Do not us AI to create code, it leaves hard to find holes that can cost you a lot of money!!
