sipi.bot vs OpenAI Spending Limits
OpenAI provides basic spending limits per API key — set a monthly cap and get a notification when you hit 50%. sipi.bot is a real-time transaction firewall: evaluate every transaction against your rules (per-transaction caps, daily totals, merchant allowlists, velocity detection) and return APPROVED, BLOCKED, or FLAGGED in under 5ms. OpenAI limits are monthly and binary; sipi.bot is per-transaction and rules-based.
