In Washington State we have an account for toll infrastructure. You set a top-up amount and a minimum. When the minimum is reached, the top-up is charged to your card and applied. If that fails a bill is mailed to you. If you fail to pay that then civil penalties are assessed.

Your point? The goal here would be to have a policy that protects you from someone stealing your toll badge (i.e. hacking into your AWS account) and running you through a toll bridge a million times (i.e. generating huge variable spend.) I don't see how what you're saying relates.

My point is that pre-paid accounts are well developed and understood.
