Since data accrues charges over time, there is no alternative if you want a hard cap. Which is why none of this is very simple at all and requires a tremendous amount of planning and complexity just to implement, let alone all the possible new issues and mistakes it creates for customers.
Again, this is the typical "write some code in a weekend" approach that's missing all context of what it actually takes. And as I mentioned before, it's far easier to just negotiate billing then to deal with the aftereffects of whatever service and data disruption this feature would cause for the tiny fraction of customers that end up with this problem.
Waving your $5 fee is far easier and cheaper than spending millions on trying to avoid it in the first place, only to get replaced with potential complains that a production account was suspended or deleted.
