I'm guessing not in your favor either?

I miss the days of setting the clock/date to avoid time bombs in software builds. "back in my day, things were so much easier!" now, I would not be surprised if the teams working on these kinds of lock outs are larger than the teams building the product.

Potentially, maybe? I didn't follow it closely enough, but the crux was a group trying to test out various time-related calls, and they'd set the base time of the containers to different times forward and behind 'now'. There were hundreds/thousands of minutes 'billed', going over the account threshhold, stopping all builds. But... I don't remember hearing if there was some diff between 'negative' charges and 'positive' charges.
