Can I still call the API if my balance is insufficient?
Before the billing system goes live, models can be called for inference services normally when the balance is 0.
After the billing system goes live, due to a certain time delay, the balance may be ≤ 0. Once the balance becomes negative, the model inference service can no longer be used, and the next recharge order will first deduct the overdue amount.
Will there still be charges after the API Key is deleted?
If the API Key is deleted, it will no longer be able to call the interface, and no charges will be incurred. The historical consumption records of this API Key can still be queried in Billing.
