I don't believe that for a minute.

You know why ?

Let's turn it on its head. What happens if the credit card on your AWS account expires or is frozen ?

You think AWS are going to continue letting you rack up money with no card to charge against ?

I betcha they'll freeze your AWS assets the nanosecond they can't get a charge against the card.

The mechanism for customer-defined hard limits is basically no different.

From experience they will let you spend tens of thousands of dollars a month without a valid payment method.

Like many times more than you've ever even spent with them.

I mean it's like 6 months of that before you even get your first non-standard form email.
