Limitations

Key limitations: Production use needs model/version pinning, quota checks, and privacy review. Model behavior, costs, rate limits, data retention, and safety policies can change by model and account tier; use evals, spend caps, and data controls for sensitive workloads. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging. Store credentials outside source control and use least-privilege scopes, short-lived tokens, or restricted keys where the product supports them.
