How do you control LLM costs per user in your SaaS?

From r/SaaS: For those who have AI features included in a flat subscription: how do you stop one user from burning through your margin? What I'm curious about: - Do you set a hard cap per user (tokens, requests, $)? What happens when they hit it? - Rate limits, credits, pricing tiers, or something else?
