Claude API error: {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API. Please go to Plans & Billing to upgrade or purchase credits."}}

SlopCharger: Broker free-tier accounts with fly-by-night AI providers cross-matched with the latest in prompt exploits to enable new billing efficiencies by running your HN AI shitpost on someone else's one-fiftieth of a dime! :sparkles:

Sorry about that, was sleeping and this got on the front page again, just upped the credit balance to fix!

This is poetic, because AI will become inaccessible pricing-wise and all these AI slop shops are going to have a hard time keeping customers.
