I use a few free APIs with usage limits. Maybe I pay 10 cents a year. I’m always afraid to one time open an invoice to find out it’s way more than that for whatever reason.

The problem is that AWS markets itself as “pay what you use” and generally that’s extremely little for me, but if I screw up with Glacier I suppose I could get a $100 bill because I restored some backups the wrong way.
