Re:How not to get a $30k bill from Firebase by vertis on Monday May 27, 2019 @09:46AM (#20022148)
A few years ago I got a ~$3500 Amazon bill when someone broke into my account (through keys I'd inadvertently added to GitHub)[1].

I had no expectation of that money being waived, but Amazon did anyway.

Since then I've had billing alerts turned on at about the $150 mark (which is about double what my personal monthly Amazon bill is).
