      haha >Warning: This example removes billing from your project, shutting down all resources. this is the digital equivalent of literally pulling the plug. i wonder how long it takes for GCP to register that you've pulled billing though? in some cases i'm sure even milliseconds could make a large difference.

      Damn that's ugly. I'm luckily still on Azure's MSDN tier...which is hardcapped to 150 bucks.

      This is ridiculous. I'm guessing a huge revenue source is going after businesses for long-tail billing spikes. Not only do I have to worry about bad code causing a huge bill, I also have to worry about the quality of code (or config) that emergency stops the billing. I wonder if you can sign up with a pre-paid credit card and use a fake name.
