I think this is a tough problem, partly due to the post-paid nature of most cloud services, partly due to the impact to other customers.

If you had a bunch of retailers in a shared space (like a market), and one of them was setting off fireworks, using all the power/water in the space, and scaring away customers, I'd expect them to get kicked out pretty quickly.

Now it may be that this is a false positive, I'm sure they happen, but in the case where it's a legitimate bad actor that is actively harming both the company and other customers on those servers, what's the course of action the company should take?
