I love all of these ideas!!
1. You can set a "max steps" limit when you run it locally https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/blob/d0935755963b017ed...
We also spit out the cost for each step within the visualizer. Click on any task > Steps > there's a column that's dedicated to how much things cost to run
https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/issues/70
2. We have a roadmap item to "cache" or "memorize" specific tasks, so you pay the cost once, and then just run it over and over again. We're going to get to it soon!!
