r/LegalAdviceUK u/ShavedAp3 • 3d Join Google want to charge me 7 k for API access what can I do as they are denying appeals Debt & Money Hi there and thanks for reading. I tried to keep this brief and just ended up rambling on trying to get as much in as possible so here is my edited hopefully a lot smaller problem. Google are charging me 7k for a mistake that I told them about within a day, the bill went from about £45 to 16k in a day! when I asked for help I was told "dont worry well reset it as a one off, you'll need to put measures in place and ill guide you through those after you agree" So i did he then said "I will monitor it for a further 24 - 48 hours and then tell you how to put the measures in place. " Less than 24 hours later the bill was now 23k and I found out how to stop it myself. Then came the long back and forth to get it reset. Fast forward 5 months they have finally given me a 20k credit but with VAT the total bill at the time of the credit was 27k The 20k would have cleared the costs at the time of making them aware they claim its both our responsibilities to monitor costs I feel I did that by contacting them as soon as I saw the irregularity. I asked them to reconsider they said no the appeal has said that is their final offer so 1 now owe 7k. Is there anything I can do here from a legal standpoint. I don't have 7k I barely have £45. Thanks for reading I am in England if it helps.

Intentional or not, OP used either 36k (16 + 20) or 43k (16 + 27) of API credit. Obviously what API it is matters, but with google maps, 16k would equate to ten million pulls. Or two hundred thousand Gemini 2.5 calls with 1000 token input and 5k token output. Those aren't numbers that something running correctly should run up for any average person or company. So either google screwed up something (which is unlikely that it would only happen to one person in the entire network) or OP has some app or something which isn't running properly and is sending too much to the API. Edit: It was OP's app, polling google maps nearly 40 times a second for days. tom_watts • 3d According to other posts he ended up polling Google maps direction API 2300 times per minute for a few days. Looks like a combination of OP not knowing coding and asking ChatGPT to do it for him, and potentially Google's backend doing something weird in interpreting the janky code. ••• 146

ShavedAp3 OP • 3d Even if that was the case and it wasn't the sign up process doesn't have the documentation I refer to. Funnily enough though asking an LLM to help me find it still took some digging after it did. If you work in the field im sure its easy but those just tinkering or learning not so much. If google didnt want people like me using it they could make it far harder to do so, they could have hard limits in place for sole users to prevent stuff like this and so many other things. Should they well clearly they don't think so and no doubt you agree that doesn't make it the right opinion it just makes it yours. • • • 4

guy in a legal advice reddit wants to know how to get out of paying google the money he owes them after vibe coding one of his apps into running 40 times a second for several days straight, but says it's not his fault bc they should have stopped him by making it harder to use

same. and, in *most* cases, they are too similar for people to truly like one and hate the other like folks claim 🤭

I’ve noticed Angela from time. 😩 Then there’s Michaela Cole, who debuts a new face every project. 🥲

There just had to be a cousin who probably told him he had worms for brains during his youth smh I know they are terrified now that they were right

thank you for sharing this beautiful story and thank you for being so kind and curious.

be kind to our children, y'all. you're saving lives now and in the future.

Look. I’m a reluctant member of the green white green. For all the focus on looks, family, success etc, the ethics are sorely lacking among many. I don’t understand it.

Good tip for life, great tip for Jamaican restaurants.

Your anxiety is lying to you because it needs you to survive. Feed yourself the truth. You know the difference between your truth and your self-enabling thoughts.

There’s a young Black boy in my neighborhood that most people would describe as a YN but he was always friendly & respectful to me. I would give him snacks after school & ask about his day. when he was in 7th grade, one day I randomly asked him “what’s making your heart so sad?”

Got myself a couple of these. It’s definitely nifty and I recommend if you don’t have arthritis or issues with your hands (I think about these things a lot, as I wonder if my kitchen gadgets also work for Mom).

May not be as fast as the safety ones, but will definitely outlast them.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.
