Microsoft won't let me pay a $24 bill, blocking thousands in Azure spending

I've had the same issue with Google.

I've not paid them a dime for 10 years because they fucked the payment system (imo).

It was just enough friction for me to mostly offload my data from Google's apps/cloud and run it myself.

So, in an odd way, I should thank them ...

I recently dropped $5.5K to set up a 140TB NAS on my home network for the same reason. Though, to be fair, hearing that they regularly have humans going through your E-Mail, private messages, and files was a pretty strong incentive, too.
