Scared me even though it was obviously a bug once I stopped to consider the magnitude ($bn). Very unfriendly that they don't allow for hard spend caps; closed my mostly dormant personal account as a result.

If they did allow hard spend caps, it sounds like today would be a global outage.

Well then hopefully next time they'll be a bit more careful when shipping billing code updates!
