- Trying to enter Together AI credit card details
  - First try: loads forever when I click the button to add the card details
  - Second try: try clicking the button again, this time I get an generic error after a brief wait (same thing when I click again)
  - Third try: reload the page, try entering the card details again, this time I learn the problem: prepaid cards aren't allowed
  - Fourth try: worked!
