I think you have to have an upper bound set with AWS that kills stuff when you have reached the amount of money you want to spend. But of course, people would whine about that. "How AWS killed my business on the busiest day of the year," would probably be the article title.

But I hate far more sympathy for "I made an AWS mistake and got hit with an 100k bill" than "I told AWS to turn off my ec2 instances at 10k, and then at 10k it turned off my ec2 instances"
