AWS bill capping feature request thread still unanswered after 10 years
It hasn't been implemented because it is nonsensical.<p>So you hit your limit. Is all your storage deleted? You can't receive an alert because that costs something (even if it's a fraction of a cent) to send. Are your domains forfeit? Audit logs destroyed? There's no reasonable way to implement this. Billing alerts are the best you can do on this problem and I think it would be a good faith move for AWS to enable some by default but a limit just doesn't make sense on any level.<p>EDIT: Lots of people proposing solutions that work for <i>them</i>. AWS has to think of <i>everyone</i>. And they did. That's why budget alerts exist and you can respond in the way <i>you</i> choose. Everyone's conflicting ideas for how to solve this can be implemented today on top of billing alerts/actions[1]. Case closed.<p>[1] <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cost-management/get-started-with-aws-budgets-actions/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws-cost-management/get-started...</a>
