100% Amazon's fault. They could have simply said something like, "We reserve the right to cap amazon cloud drive usage at <x> TB (currently, but increased occasionally)."
But they don't want to do that, apparently. Why? I don't know, but it looks like they're worried some of their customers (the same ones they don't like because of excessive usage) will go over to B2 or whatever other cheap services are available, for the peace of mind of not running into any caps even if the service costs more at 2TB or 5TB worth of storage. "Unlimited" storage companies, that nevertheless discriminate against very high usage, want to have their cake and eat it too. Either state a limit and accept the risk that some of your customers decide to go somewhere else, or don't limit and don't discriminate against them. Those are the reasonable choices. Other choices are not reasonable.
