> Most startups will never need anything close to $5000 in AWS credits.

This statement is not true. It is quite easy to have a $5,000 a month bill on Amazon.

Also, AWS credits usually last 12 months. You can spend $416.67/month at AWS with just one EC2 instance.

It might be easy, but that doesn't mean it happens to the vast majority of startups.

The majority of startups never get any real traction and see only a small trickle of traffic every day.
