Can you not set spending limits in AWS?

No you can't. Spending limits imply realtime billing backend flows and they also imply deleting all your data so that you don't pay for storage.

No, alerts but not limits.

Not only can you not set limits, even the alarms are not real time. So it is entirely possible to get on the hook for terrifying amounts of money and not know until it's all too late.
