Sounds like a great way to dodge your expensive AWS bill and get a bunch of resources for free.
“Oh sorry I used 100tb of bandwidth over my 10$ limit, I guess your billing technology has not caught up with real time! Lucky you are so nice and stopped charging me at an agreed amount”.
What they could do is pause services immediately that can be paused and then give you grace on services where their billing technology has not caught up with real time. They don't necessarily have to actually stop services if they cannot technically do it instantly, just stop charging you at an agreed amount. That's all that's needed.
