117 billion us dollars. Eat that GDP of Kuwait! But yes I have never scrambled so hard to try to get on the phone with someone at AWS in my life. Terrifying 10 minutes until I found that banner on the support page. It should be front and center on the dash, not hidden away. And in yellow.

#92Ask for some leniency. Let your account rep know about your budget difficulties and ask if you can make good faith payments of a few billion per month until you get back on your feet.

#96same here, I am still in shock. took me 10 minutes to find the 'operational issue' message in the dashboard. longest 10 minutes of my life.
Can you not set spending limits in AWS?
No you can't. Spending limits imply realtime billing backend flows and they also imply deleting all your data so that you don't pay for storage.

#98Woke up to a billing alarm email. Thought I had leaked my AWS keys accidentally and somehow run up 437 billion dollars of charges. Joke's on them though, I don't have 437 billion dollars
Anyways I didn't need coffee. That produced an adrenaline release unlike any I've experienced before. Thanks AWS

#100Yes, there is a known issue with cost estimation. https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
Bit of an understatement: “The displayed billing estimates do not reflect actual usage and charges.”
