A startup is about managing risks and spending your time/money appropriately. Your cloud provider running out of capacity isn't an obvious risk especially if it's just capacity for general compute.
For some clouds that seem to be run on a manual process (IBM, Oracle) that would be expected, since they're sort of clunky. For other places (Rackspace, etc) it would uncommon. For a major provider like Azure, well, it's bizarre. I mean, the whole point of cloud is that it's all-you-can-eat.
You would think that this would be something they would advertise/talk about up-front. But who would sign up if that was disclosed?
