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.

This is GCP's revenue model, lol. Let's provide a (semi) generous free tier and trick people into accidentally going over it.

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
