Several comments here talk about "nearly" having a heart attack. But I wonder: since it's happened to so many people, chances are someone had a heart attack for real. Can they legally be made responsible for that?
From their status page >The second path involves rolling back a recent change to the billing computation subsystem. Want to bet AI code was involved?
AI: "No problem, let me change how we bill and fix the tests for the new increase in value"
Yes, 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.”
Of course, you provided heart stress failure tests for free.
Woke 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
Cynically I wonder if this has an outcome as an unintentional (or intentional) anchoring exercise for future cost increases
I once got a credit card statement that said estimated time to repay ....... more than 100,000 years. It was discouraging but I did pay it off. And sooner than estimated.
