It’s really not a rounding error. What happens is we have hundreds of these little rounding errors and some poor dude exists solely to work out where all the money is leaking out of the budget.

Then you find it’s some weird inter VPC peering transit cost through a firewall because something was designed by an external consultancy who didn’t do a cost analysis or didn’t understand which one of the myriad of complex charging rules were invoked. The end game being you’re architecturally tied into paying $1000 a month 100 times over.

Corporate clouds are complicated and with complexity comes extreme expense. Even small ones can escalate quickly.
