> But once you realize that bill capping doesn't make sense for storage

I'd think you want something like a circuit breaker.. steady costs or slowly increasing costs aren't like to be a problem, but a sudden surge in costs is what I'm concerned with.

Perhaps if it operated like a time-averaged quota.. don't let me incur _new_ costs if I slide too far out of my apparent range. Give me a knob to control that range or temporarily disable it, and maybe a way to monitor those events so I can react to them appropriately for my particular application.
