Have seen this repeatedly also. Watched one company end up with a $250k AWS bill when their credits expired (which they could not pay).

- maccard 5mo agoIf you let it go that far then you were going to blow it one way or another - it’s not an excuse to totally ignore the cloud spend but it’s a n excuse to defer it to a later date. If your successful, fix it, if your not then AWS aren’t getting paid anyway!
- xmcp123 5mo agoYeah, they had an impossible to use number of credits (YC) until they expired, so every problem became a AWS solution. As an example, they needed a lot of proxy servers. Instead of just using a proxy service, there was a fleet of ec2 instances.
- maccard 5mo agoIf all you have is AWS credits suddenly every problem looks like EC2.
