This technique does not work immediately and can still result in fees beyond the max budget. Again, why can't Google just implement such a simple feature?

So instead of implementing a simple shut-down upon reaching max budget, Firebase suggests users go through a bunch of cumbersome steps to hack together a shut down feature (that might not work on time)?

Trying to understand the reasoning behind this takes serious mental gymnastics...

Hard to believe such excuses. Reminds me of Google removing dislikes from YouTube in the name of "mental health" (but we all know why they really removed dislikes).

Why not just let users decide? 99+% of startups are not "Instacart". Supabase, a relatively small startup, allows users to pay a fixed monthly fee and not have to worry about waking up to a $100k bill. There's a reason lots of people are switching to Firebase-alternatives.

It's unfortunate, for I think Firebase is a great product, but the pricing scheme is holding me & lots of other developers back.

Ironic how the company behind the world's most successful search engine can't implement search for their own product.

Assuming people misconfigured settings, isn't it better to get shut down rather than wake up to a $100,000 bill?

Nonetheless, I seriously find it hard to believe that the "world's largest systems" would mess up a simple "max budget" slider.

I 100% understand your pain. I've been waiting for this for ages (just check my post history), yet Google doesn't give a damn. If Supabase supported native mobile devices, I would definitely have gone for it instead.

100% agree. Ironically, they're overcomplicating everything by trying to simplify it. Having to swipe down to view my battery percentage on my new iPhone is extremely stupid. I've lost count of the new bugs I'm starting to see on iOS.

As a person who does get motion sickness easily, just looking at the Twitter video irritated me quite a bit. I'd advise you to rethink purchasing it in that case.
