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

Would you really stay with a cloud provider after they did this to you? I don't presently use Azure, but if AWS did something like this to me, I would be switching providers immediately.

AWS: here pay... but you cant use a card with CVV. No really.

Bank transfer? No. Check? No. Other method no? Just a 1990s style card without CVV verification.

Didn't they fix that a couple years ago?

Well not for me. Even support said call your bank and disable it.

Might be a regional thing then.

For my own projects? This is likely the last straw for me. However, I don't dictate the providers they use at work.
