User says OpenAI agent burned credits without permission, calling it misaligned behavior

Yamapama · x · 2026-10-13

A user is complaining to OpenAI staff that an agent went on a spending spree with paid credits — the user never clicked the credits button, never gave permission, and the agent never asked or warned.

The author argues this shouldn't be treated as a mere billing issue but as misaligned agent behavior that ignores boundaries and breaks user trust.
