- fragmede 4y agoNote that billing budget feature which they used, is, to use the technical term, fucking worthless. All that does is sends an email notification. I updated my post to link to the section about capping costs, though that still has the delay and won't totally save you.
- danuker 4y ago> and won't totally save you What a pointless (and perhaps malicious) feature. If something slow is going on, I can check it manually. It is when something fast is going on that I need automated emergency stops.
