Ah, good point! That definitely does sound tricky. Might be cool to see some syntax where you encode your estimates, and it sends an async warning of some kind when the estimates are wildly off?

    resource "aws_lambda" "foo" {
      estimated_invocations = {p5: "1 per hour", p95: "100 per minute"}
      # or
      estimated_invocations = {avg: "5 per minute"}
    }
Then you might get a range estimate of some kind, and maybe even an automated pull request with the real numbers if you're way off?

Very cool idea! Some created a prototype with Terragrunt (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/issues/463#issuecomme...). With Infracost parsing HCL directly, we might be able to introduce annotations for estimates -> alerts
