Doesn't this hack require that the service is used in an extremely constrained way, almost entirely to get a refund? You cannot employ this hack if you are using S3 in a meaningful way. Thus, you are simply getting a max 25% refund on the money you spent gaining nothing.
- cperciva 18y agoThere are scenarios where this could be exploited quite easily -- the "backups which aren't being touched" scenario is one of them. If you're issuing a constant stream of requests to S3, then this can't be exploited, since it relies on being able to say "I'm not going to issue any more requests until the next 5-minute interval starts".
