If that happens, you create a support ticket and AWS/GCP/Azure wave it, especially the first time. They're aware that billing per usage can have surprise effects, but at the same time they don't want to kill their customers' workloads and delete their data, so it is what it is.

		Exactly! I know, some of those companies sometimes refund you, but if your livelihood depends on it..? That's a crazy situation to be in as a mere developer.

		I would prefer they waive it.

It's quite easy to check responses to other customers in other threads there, and somehow I see quite a lot of "oh, go to that other support" and ghosting.

If you create support ticket on hacker news, then yes, you will probably get it waved. It's somewhat sad that HN is their support forum now.
