Isn't there a saying for this? If you owe a bank $10,000, it's your problem. If you owe a bank $100 million, it's their problem.

That's why I refuse to use most cloud API keys. The API keys always default to take the money first. Anthropomorphic already has their money. They're not getting it back.

I'm just a home user and worry that if my security slipped for one moment over my entire life, my keys would be leaked and I'd see a surprise $1k Google cloud bill.

I use openrouter for my of my paid online calls, when setting up API keys you get to set a budget. Easy. It's also pre-paid so unless I turn on auto-charge for my credit card (which is off by default) it will never blow more than I've already loaded. Two layers of safety are better than one.
