> No one running a real business on AWS wants a hard ceiling instead of billing alerts

Are you sure? I'd imagine many startups would rather take a few hours of downtime over billed thousands erroneously. The latter could easily mean the end of the company but the former, when you are just striking out is not the end of the world by far.

My CFO and I run a real business and we'd like this. Especially being able to constrain it by sub/child accounts and/or departments/tags.
