Metered: significant internal and external resources are devoted to understanding aws spend. See the whole industry springing up around this, starting with Duckbill. No vpe is looking to add more to that list of things they have to understand and plan out.
Flat rate or bucketed pricing is common across many dev tools. eg ci/cd: see bamboo, gitlab ci/cd (purchased in blocks), circleci (credits w/ account, more credits sold in blocks). apms like honeycomb.io. etc.

It just means there's a step function and if some change does unexpectedly put you over the next threshold that just became some relatively senior people's #1 problem today.
