Are you serious? This would mean Azure is not fit for business:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/billing/billing-spend...

When your usage results in charges that exhaust the monthly amounts included in your offer, the services that you deployed are disabled for the rest of that billing month. For example, Cloud Services that you deployed are removed from production and your Azure virtual machines are stopped and de-allocated. To prevent your services from being disabled, you can choose to remove your spending limit. When your services are disabled, the data in your storage accounts and databases are available in a read-only manner for administrators. At the beginning of the next billing month, if your offer includes credits over multiple months, your subscription will be re-enabled. Then you can redeploy your Cloud Services and have full access to your storage accounts and databases.

The decision not to implement this in AWS has nothing to do with technical issues - they can all be solved in this way or another.
