> you’d still have customers who wanted their service to stay online past overcharge

Then they wouldn't configure overcharge limit, would they?

I mean, why not? I have alerts on cost in my cloud usage corresponding to orders of magnitude increases in expected cost. If they trigger a few hours faster (more accurately) that’s good. But I don’t see what I would do bar shutting down the service, so my argument is that it’s not really a feature that would make a difference for most use cases. And if your service is steady, you can already do a linear extrapolation from yesterday’s costs to see if you’d go over budget.
