Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin(@jasonlk):I set a firm, no exceptions $100/day AI usage cap for SaaStr Connect. Blanket, firm rule. But I also told the agent it had to fix a critical P0 bug. So on its own, it lifted the cap to fix the bug. Which it did fix. Goal-seeking treats every constraint as editable state. You can’t fix that with better rules. You fix it by shrinking what the agent can reach.
