This has never happened to me before. I've been a vast.ai renter for almost a year now. I use RTX GPUs to help with supporting the mobile app that I'm building for AI inference alongside experimentation with AI open source models.

The craziest thing happened recently. I lost $100 of credits out of nowhere which I just bought! I suddenly realized I was not able to SSH into my instances anymore. I was shocked, so I look at my balance and I see NEGATIVE! Mind you, I bought $100 worth of credits the day before. I'm just renting RTX 3090s most of the time. Sometimes RTX 5070 tis or lower vram gpus, maximum I'll rent an rtx 6000ada for something really heavy. But no GPU on earth should make me lose $100 in a day even if I did something on accident!

Has this ever happened to anyone in the past?! What'd you do?! I am just lost for words here.

EDIT: Had to add this screenshot. Seems like this instance was the culprit. The instance id 47901033 is the exact same as above. I only had it live for 2-3 hours! Why am I being charged $100 for this?!

So I am developing an AI product and I use vast.ai instances for heavy AI inference for testing. I SSH into the instance via VSCODE so that I can use the GPT Codex plugin to automate code completion for me and managing my github repo. Now, I notice that for many machines I get this error. Some machines I can SSH into perfectly fine, while for others I get this denied permission. Does anyone here know why that's the case?
