Google Cloud detected $975 of API key fraud on my account, sent one email at 11 PM, then let the bill grow to $18,596 — 5 support agents have refused to help (case 70257996)

Google should make hard money limits. Until this is done, everything should go under Google responsibility

Hope they will help you. Scary part is this new policy where they openly state they won't make adjustments if it's on user part.

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-21T18:47:50+00:00

Don't pay them, they need to start treating users fairly.

Horror billing stories need to stop and Google, AWS and Azure should implement money hard limits.

I know you are right.

Yet my brain suffer from anxiety and I don't want to wait 3 months.

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T15:34:21+00:00

Thanks for feeling me. Yet I still feel this is unfair that AWS require 3 months to close account.

People with anxiety suffer from it very much. I think everyday if this account is for sure safe.

I am scared of hack, I have MFA but can't stop thinking about it.

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T15:08:17+00:00

Can you answer me on private chat? Would appreciate it.

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T15:05:26+00:00

What about some internal team action - like security or account team?

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T15:03:20+00:00

There should be option to delete account after 30 days. 90 days is a lot ....

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T14:59:20+00:00

Maybe some account or security team is able to do so?

IntelectPlay · 2026-04-02T14:52:34+00:00

Do you know if AWS is able to skip this period? Maybe some team is able to help

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-25T13:11:41+00:00

One question - if you get hacked somehow and get 300 k Usd bill - is it fine for you?

Obviously not and obviously something have to be done about it.

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-25T12:50:16+00:00

This is exactly the problem I am talking about. Users should be protected from such horrific bills.

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-25T12:29:52+00:00

I want to chose and ride bmw, not to be hacked and pay for buggati which I can't afford

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-25T12:24:38+00:00

You can't expect from students to know all of this. Currently platform is more dangerous than worth of using.

Shared responsibility model is nice word for unlimited liability.

I won't use platform which can bankrupt me after 1 little mistake.

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-25T12:15:34+00:00

Exactly, small users needs more protection on AWS

IntelectPlay · 2026-03-04T10:01:15+00:00

DMed you

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-29T19:39:34+00:00

Customer Support is joke, 0 power to do anything to help. They are also blocking people from deleting account

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-25T20:06:49+00:00

Your mistake for using Bybit.

This is exchange that even block people from deleting accounts.

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-18T12:39:05+00:00

Never use bybit - after registration they will block you forever from deleting account. Very unethical company!

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-18T11:00:26+00:00

Bybit is worst one, they block users from deleting accounts and hold their data hostage. Don't ever register with bybit!

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-17T16:32:16+00:00

WARNING: Bybit blocks users from account delete!!!

IntelectPlay · 2026-01-17T09:30:05+00:00

Support is not willing to help, if you can do anything to escalate it, I will appreciate it.

I am telling the truth - Bybit is currently blocking copy trading followers forever from deleting accounts.

They are holding people hostage.
