Yes and no, I ran the script before and the fee wasn't that high (they jacked it up last summer). Usually I have to jump through a ton of hoops just to add more CPU cores to my VMs so I "trusted" that GCP would warn me if I ever made an error.

One of the bigger issues is they charged my card before I literally had any notice what the bill was - it wasn't even in the dashboard yet. I would have terminated the script ASAP had I gotten *any* warning.
