I agree cloud providers shouldn't be able to bankrupt their users due to high usage. IMO it should be mandatory to set a limit it makes sense from a finance side.

In my case my cards don't have $12 million of a limit so they could not actually charge me that amount of money. It makes sense if you use invoice type billing i.e. like a company but as an individual these insane bills can't actually run.

they wouldn't be able to charge your CC but this isn't really relevant to what you owe them

they can still attempt to come after you for that $12 million

Of course but I cannot ever pay that amount so what would be the point from their side. It would be more sensible to stop after they run out of money on my CC.
