>I can guarantee you that if you spawn AWS instances and use 80% flat of CPU 24/7/365 you'll get the same kind of email directing you to the cpu dedicated instances. This is a pretty significant claim that I think we're going to need evidence of. I would be flat out shocked if any of the major cloud providers gave you this sort of notice. All of them have burstable instance types with various mechanisms for limiting that burst, but I have never heard of anyone ever getting this sort of email just for heavily and consistently utilizing CPU on a regular instance. However, I will agree that this sort of thing around "unlimited bandwidth" is normal in the hosting industry. People talked all the time on webhostingtalk about all of the different dedicated server and colo providers that advertised "unlimited" bandwidth and would cut you off if you actually tried to use eit.
