woke up to a $35.6 billion aws bill on a $7/month test account. my soul left my body.
billing glitch, thankfully. but even if it were real, aws couldn't have stopped it.
AWS budgets email you, but they don't turn anything off.

‼️ BREAKING: AWS users are in shock as the company shows them wildly inflated cost estimates running into billions of dollars per account. AWS has confirmed a global billing console bug as the cause.
In some reported cases the estimates run as high as $1 trillion.
AWS blames a unit pricing error in its estimation subsystem and stresses that the phantom numbers do not reflect actual usage or charges.
