What's 'draining user accounts'?

'Draining user accounts' in this context means attackers are using up the resources or credits associated with a user's subscription to an AI service. For example, if you have a certain amount of processing time or queries available, the attackers consume these, leaving you with nothing and potentially forcing you to pay for more.
