This is one of those reasons why I prefer prepaid cloud services. There are not many providers in this field (Vultr, Digital Ocean, etc). You can generally estimate the length of the runway based in the funds you have in your account.
It also helps that there are multiple funding sources, so I can split the bill between multiple cards or accounts.
I travel the major part of the year, and it is quite common to get my cards lost (often at my own fault) or compromised (Mastercard tends to suspend cards when they detect charges from multiple countries in a short time frame). I can wait for the new cards to arrive worry-free that my cloud services don't take a hit like this.

- daenney 4y agoUnfortunately, this wasn't a payment issue so this wouldn't have saved you. It's a Know-Your-Customer issue, i.e prove you're not doing business with someone on the US embargo list. DO, Vultr etc. would have the same issue depending on the timeframe they were given to prove compliance by the feds.
