I wish cloud providers had a nuclear option. Like “if my monthly spend hits $X, then just stop everything immediately”. Often these billing issues happen on little hobby projects and things that the owner would clearly be fine taking offline to avoid thousands in fees.


> then just stop everything immediately

What does stop everything immediately mean for things that aren't compute? Backups and storage, for example.


I was only thinking about this for compute related services, which is where most of these surprise charges come from. I suppose you could have some fine grained rules for other services.
