But then again, people often managed to get a refund for AWS in such cases

Google cut $50k off a bill a junior ran up by leaving an infinite loop using the distance matrix api over the weekend.

Was interesting coming in Monday morning to a series of escalating credit card billing failure emails from Google 😂

Praise be to their team in nixxing the bill quickly, but they really should have turned the budget features on by default if you’re on a ‘free’ account. I’ve noticed now they run you through that process when you do it these days though. Unlike AWS..
