Earlier quoted context omitted.

seems like you fit the profile of the dude who uncovered a major fraud just due to his habit of checking minor increases/expenses

Not sure if you're thinking of the same story, but this reminds me of Cliff Stoll finding KGB hackers poking around military and university networks in the 80s because of a time billing discrepancy.

Translated: Close, but still not hard cost cap at Cloudflare.

Goes well with every other cloud provider refusing to offer a hard cost cap. Unless of course you're on their credits then miraculously they do support a hard cap with every service stopping the second you go one cent over.
