I wonder how free hosting services like netlify and vercel handle this? If a free tier user gets spammed do they just pass the cost on? I can't imagine that is the case so they must have some protections built in.

If a free tier user goes over the included usage on Vercel, their site gets automatically paused. There isn't a credit card required to be put down.
That's bold of you to assume. Vercel has horror stories even for the paid tier.
