Abuse Prevention & Rate Limiting
We actively monitor for misuse patterns and inappropriate behavior. Users who attempt to abuse this service or use it in ways it's not intended will receive rate limitation warnings and may be restricted from access.
Note: This service may be temporarily taken offline at times while we develop better safeguards. We are committed to responsible deployment and will not rush features that could enable harm.
Future Optional Service: We may offer an administrative service with higher-level alerts, manual operator controls, and enhanced AI/LLM integrations for users who choose to opt in. This service would be entirely optional and may involve usage-based costs. This is not live yet and will only be developed if community demand warrants it.
SafeOS Guardian will always be free. We will never charge for this humanitarian service. Ever.
