(AKA why no more bots for now.)

A couple of weeks ago, right after I ran out of tokens, OpenRouter announced that payments from my account were no longer accepted due to my location. I don’t know how they figured that out, since I’ve never even used my main credit card here. Apparently, they have ways of finding out. It’s a shame I didn’t top up before this happened, I thought. Until they sent me this:

So I can’t use the paid APIs because they don’t want my money, and I can’t use the free APIs because they don’t want my phone number either, since it’s from the wrong country.

If anyone has any advice or just wants to say something, leave a comment, I’ll check them from time to time. Until then, see you in the trenches.
