Anyone else had an agentic loop blow through their API budget overnight?

Last month I woke up to an invoice that made me do a double-take. Turned into API costs overnight because of a retry loop bug, the kind of thing that's invisible until you are staring at a bill you cannot explain.

What got me was not the cost itself, it was how late I found out. Every cost tracking tool I checked afterward would have told me the same thing: here's what happened, after it already happened. None of them would've stopped the loop while it was running.

Cognocient - Cut your AI spend without cutting your AI usage

Most AI cost tools alert you after the damage. Cognocient enforces budgets before the API call goes out stopping runaway agentic loops in real time, not after the invoice. Change one line of code to attribute costs by feature, team, or department. Get CFO-ready PDF reports on cost-per-outcome automatically. Plus dev tools for token-maxing detection, context tax analysis, and FOCUS 1.1 export. Built for teams who ship fast and still need to know where the budget's going.
