It's great that they forgave you. I know a startup that incurred a $30k bill that they didn't forgive. The startup folded.

AWS's unknowable policy for the cost of errors represents a huge risk for individuals and small businesses. It puts a lot of people off.

I'm sorry, what?

Assume you're paying for your own mistakes, and be thankful when you don't have to? That's a pretty easy policy.
