Depends on if you're a big business or an individual. There is absolutely no reason I would ever pay $100k for a traffic burst on my personal site or side project (like the $100k Netlify case a few months ago).

Billing alerts are not instant and neither is anyone online 24x7 monitoring the alerts.
