Scaling limits put in place by cloud providers are there in part to make sure their customers don’t accidentally incur runaway costs due to a configuration mistake. It’s not uncommon that a cloud provider would cover the costs if a customer make such an error (first time, ask nicely, etc). They are covering their own bases from having to do that on a massive scale.
