Thanks again @doque

For me it seems a little overkill to build an automated system that can handle webhook that can pauses a project

Hmm .. to maybe I'm overthinking it .. could you describe the architecture needed to setup a system like this?

It feels like they are intentionally making it complicated to figure out to avoid people actually setting hard limits. Vercel recently had a customer get charged 20k+ that posted on twitter. When Vercel employees mentioned this way of controlling it through a webhook, most people didn't even know about it. I feel like a hard limitbshould be easy to set in your projects settings and that it should have a default value.

@KyleJune

I would consider extremely difficult to setup a reliable system that could listen to webhooks and pause projects.

My main concerns are .. how can you test it and how can you be sure that it is working in all future.

..

Are you able to find the twitter post you mentioned?

I found the example I mentioned, it was from earlier this month.

Here is a link to the twitter post where someone got a 23k bill. In the thread you can find people confused about how this could have happened and why there are not hard limits to prevent situations like this. https://twitter.com/michaelaubry/status/1757539928534315322?...

Here is a comment in the thread from their VP of product explaining how to set hard limits via a web hook. They said they would improve the documentation for it but some people replied saying they shouldn't need a web hook to set usage limits. https://twitter.com/leeerob/status/1757960730865696892?t=mCD...
