Replying in another user's Community thread, bennygoldstein says a bug written by an AI coding tool made a Durable Object alarm in their Lion Brain app re-index the same data every few seconds on October 10 and 11, 2026, writing about 250 million rows and costing roughly $210 in overage on Workers Paid. He says he only found out from the budget alert email, which never pauses anything, and that he opened a billing case asking for a one-time courtesy credit and a real hard spending cap.
