That's fucking bonkers that nothing in the system could see this as unusual and worthy of throttling. The embarrassment of this -- that a company LITERALLY SELLING machine learning services and expertise -- cannot spot such a thing... This should have led them to deal with this internally and refund it. Just... Wow Google.
there is no way to cap your billing on gcp.
you can get notifications but that's it.
i don't want to get throttled below my quota but some type of spend limit would be good.
The company selling machine learning services would probably love a €54k bonus
This is GCP's revenue model, lol. Let's provide a (semi) generous free tier and trick people into accidentally going over it.
