No, for services like these it should cap at the cost of keeping the data indefinitely. If your budget limit for S3 was $1000 per month, and you tried to add an object which if not deleted would make you use $1010 next month (and every month after that), it should reject adding that object.
- nucleardog 7y agoWe've got processes that push massive files into S3 for a later to stage to then stream out, and delete when they've completed successfully. So now we've created a situation where everything's running fine, our bill is consistently $500/mo, I go casually turn on a $1k/mo spending limit... aaaaand suddenly everything starts failing in totally non-obvious ways.
