Ouch, that’s a tough lesson—restoring from backups often uncovers hidden data transfer or snapshot retrieval costs that weren't budgeted. The real fix here isn't just better IAM policies, but having real-time anomaly detection catching the spend spike instantly. We built CloudThinker precisely for this, pairing our CloudKeeper module for 24/7 cost governance with automated runbooks that enforce blast radius guardrails before disaster strikes.
