#42Uhh class action incoming? $34,909,930,575.09 over here.
What would your damages be? They’re not actually going to charge your credit card for 34 billion.

#43If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $1.7 billion, that's the bank's problem.

#44Cynically I wonder if this has an outcome as an unintentional (or intentional) anchoring exercise for future cost increases

#45Don't worry. With so much debt banks start to treat you with respect. /S Honestly, I would worry more about estimated billing that seems plausible in general, but is way to high for you personally. These ridiculous amounts? Not so much.
I got freaked out by the mere fact that I got a billing alert, since getting one would require my monthly spend to have suddenly exploded.

#49logged in this morning to find a bill of $595 Billion... heart rate went through the roof... then I noticed the open issue, phew! nice one guys... you got me there... But with AWS costs rising anyway (not by that much but OK), I'm probably not the only one to start reconsidering their cloud strategy. I think this might have just pushed me over the edge.
Even though it's just a bug, being charged $595B on a platform that is known to cost spike, reminds us that we're not in control of the platform, or our company's expenses.
