What about prepaid credit cards with payment limit? If the payment failed the service will be terminated? Or does aws continue and send an invoice anyway?
They still send the invoice. I accidentally left a couple of small files in an S3 bucket for years. Eventually my card expired on that account and they continued bothering me until I contacted support and we agreed to waive the bill.
I imagine they would have been more forceful if it was a larger bill.
Google once (falsely?) considered my Revolut debit card a pre-paid card and refused to accept it for GCS billing. The error message wasn't anything generic either - it stated specifically that pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Aren't Revolut's cards prepaid? I was under the impression it's not full, real bank account since they make it easy to transfer money in out. I imagine they're making money off the issuing bank part of the interchange fees

Never used one for this purpose but since billing happens after the fact (and monthly), AWS won't be aware of the limit until after the monthly billing occurs. They’ll just tell you the card failed and you have a billing liability to take care of (and give you some time to fix it) while still letting you rack up additional debt with services running after the billing fails; they definitely won't cut you off when you've reached the level that would meet the limit on your card (and couldn't even in theory without realtime notification of other charges against the card, even if they were inclined to.)
