- iancarroll 13y agoI accidentally ran a spot instance for $70 an hour for two hours due to my less-then-smart configuration. They refunded me. :)
- Deinos 13y agoThat says a lot for their customer service. I know a lot of companies that would have had more of a "you break it, you buy it" style attitude. Good on them!
- tomphoolery 13y agoMe too, I accidentally ran some windows instances for like a month!
- semerda 13y agoDitto. At the AWS keynote today Andy Jassy, Senior Vice President, spoke of cost saving initiatives AWS has going with $200m already saved via automated notifications to customers to power down their inactive EC2 instances. Andy emphasized the importance of great customer service by AWS & helping customers cut costs. Use that as your leverage point in the discussions with your sales rep. Hope it works out for you!

- bertil 13y agoShouldn’t such cases be detected automatically? It would really help Amazon’s brand of being shroud.
