Cloud billing anxiety is real

You ever open a cloud billing dashboard after testing something and immediately regret your life choices?
I swear sometimes I log in just to check if I accidentally left a server running.
Anyone else had a surprise cloud bill before?

AWS once granted me a one-time waiver of around US$220 when I contacted their support and explained that I accidentally left a server running. Before contacting their support, I deleted / removed the servers. This was like 4 years ago.

Oh yeah that panic hits hard. With cloud phones it’s the same. Leave one running and the bill jumps. I usually just put them in sleep or energy-saving mode when I’m not using them. Everything stays ready but you don’t pay for idle time.
