> When it reach the cap, all your service stop working?

That exactly what I would like to have. Services stop and I get time to review what's happened without any stress that my bank account will be emptied.

AWS has both big/small customers, I would say those two have very different priorities when it comes to SLA.

Having a killer switch that could make one's AWS account stop would be a risk for big customers, I would predict, if it is misconfigured, maybe even intentionally. A better solution for them would be alerts, and get things right afterwards.

It will be of course possible to disable that for customers who wish so.
