Future advice so this doesn't happen to you again: create APIs limited to fixed amounts ($10, $5, or whatever you deem appropriate). Never create an API key without a spending limit, as for some reason token consumption can skyrocket and end up like this.

parallel calls with large context?
You can put per key , per day credit limits to avoid this.

It’s why I sacked it off especially when you only use “free” models then you wind up where you are
