The only cloud service I've had pro actively turn off provisioned resources is OCI. I've used all but Google cloud. That's a pretty distinctive difference IMHO. My post attempts to describe when and why. Though I have only used time based free credits on the other providers. Despite my always free having been up a year now I'm still reluctant to put production critical resources on it because of the experience. I'd be more willing if they would take one of my cards for an account upgrade as I otherwise generally like the service.
