I asked AWS to set a limit on my spending. They said that they did not want to do that "not to break my business".

I want them to - I do not care if my site is offline vs. having to pay a huge bill. That should be a choice.

So I moved away from AWS. It is crazy that companies agree to such a racket (not the pricing - but the fact that you cannot set a limit).

I considered to use a virtual card with a limit on it - they could not grab more than the limit and just sue me across the pound or remove my account. But I refuse to play these games with a company who does not give a shit about billing.
