Alerts are just alerts. I don’t and can’t monitor alerts 24/7.

The alert automatically calls a Lambda function which turns off all your services.

Which puts a burden on the user because this needs to be tested. Also, it's not 100% safe because the user is still accountable.

How do you auto test that this actually works and continues working properly

Set a low limit then scale up.

That's why you have the Lambda there to scale it down. You don't need to sit there.
