My AI agent got stuck in a loop and ran up a bill. What now?

Pause the worker or disable its access key. Check the provider usage page for requests still running. If a key may have leaked, revoke it and replace it. Save the request logs before restarting.

Contact the provider if you need to dispute a charge. AetherGate cannot cancel or refund a provider invoice.

Compare the repeated task, model, error and review findings. A retry that never changes the input is a likely place to look. Check whether two workers keep asking each other for another revision.

Foreman bounds specialist attempts and review rounds. Failed work is checked and can move to another model. A job limit stops further calls when their allowance no longer fits. These controls limit a loop; they cannot guarantee a useful result.
