On May 27 ~4AM, my account was recharged dozens of times, a spammer made 300+ calls. I am now liable for $1000s on Twilio and vapi account frozen. It appears there were no transaction velocity controls for payments on vapi?? Wrote to support@Vapi but it bounced back. I have shut my app down completely temporarily. Can someone please contact me regarding my account so we can discuss and resolve.

Please can you provide your vapi email address

Adding to this, can a Vapi support also include tips, advice, settings on how to avoid this going forward?

Hey, can you DM me so we can discuss your issue? It's important to control your application against spammers to prevent freezing or blocking your account. This is a security concern for your services. To provide you with tips and suggestions on avoiding this in the future, I need to understand your current application flow. An immediate solution is to implement rate limiting for users based on their IP addresses, user IDs, test user IDs, browsers, and so on.
