> Is there even a way to tell Vercel: "I only want to spend $10 a month max on this project, CUT ME OFF if I go past it."? This is crazy.

(I work at Vercel). Yes, there are soft and hard spend limits. OP was using this feature, it's called "spend management": https://vercel.com/docs/spend-management

Hi, I'm the author of the blog (though I didn't post it on HN).

We sure do, though we were initially confused by the wording. We thought "stop deployment" meant that we wouldn't be able to deploy. So, we had it turned off initially.

@leerob helped us figure it out on the Vercel subreddit, then we turned it on.
