I wonder how many people may have gotten an actual heart infarct because of that. There may be a person out there that may be dead as a result.

It's entirely irresponsible of Amazon to even display such values to the user.

Reminds me of the time a Robinhood user killed themselves after Robinhood erroneously showed their account balance at -$730k.

In that case, they settled with Robinhood and FINRA fined Robinhood 70 million dollars.

"They" being the family; Robinhood couldn't settle with the guy who was wronged because he, ya know, killed himself first

Ah, there'll be something in the TOS absolving them of responsibility.

Maybe AWS is also “for entertainment purposes only”

Well... That depends on the country jurisdiction. And any ToS is bounded by law and can be questioned.

I legit had a small panic attack due to this.

I'm not a devops but we are running some s3 buckets. When I saw the number I couldn't even comprehend and thought we had been hacked.

I feel like this is such a bad mistake from AWS and we will never be compensated for it.

Put me off having anything on AWS from now on.
