Meh, you probably would complain. Maybe you forgot you set it. Now your project is taking off, making money, and it got nuked.

Why aren't we talking about an EC2 - is that not a cloud compute service? People have been complaining about cloud billing since long before LLMs.

Anything to say about the technical problem of constantly monitoring many services against a project or account-level limit?

You mean we can implement rate limiting on API for security purposes no problem but suddenly having it track costs as well is technically impossible?
