At $0.05/minute, stuck voice sessions turn silence detection into cost control, dev suggests prompt-based hang-up

In a discussion on voice AI call economics, @sebuzdugan noted that at $0.05/minute, stuck sessions make silence detection a core cost-control mechanism.
juberti responded that a watchdog timer is always a good idea, but you can likely just prompt GPT-Live to check whether the user is still there and hang up if not—avoiding extra engineering.
