Jordan shares the exact guardrail system he built after a $230 Zapier overage nearly cost him $700 in margin. You'll get a unified cost ledger that tracks LLM tokens, Zapier tasks, and Make credits per client, with Slack alerts at 60/80/100% of budget. Plus auto-throttle rules using Delay After Queue, n8n concurrency caps, and Make's built-in backoff—and kill switches on all three platforms that shut down non-critical automations before they eat your margin. Includes the complete template pack with alert formulas and platform-specific toggle recipes.
