Eventually, Hacker News ended up bringing 20,000+ visitors. Had to upgrade our urlbox screenshot API account twice in 1 hour just to keep up with the demand.

This Hacker News post could have cost $1,000+ if the API rate limit hadn't kicked in. Oh well, silver linings...

Since almost no one could use the app (too many people, and not enough quota from OpenAI), I added a $1.99 one-time payment per audit. This would probably decrease the number of users and also help cover the insanely high costs.

Thanks for following up, I've had ideas for something in the same light, but need to be careful not going bankrupt!
