  • What do people think of apps switching to a lower tier of model if your $$ threshold was exceeded?

  • I'm surprised this isn't law. Should it be?

  • Ubicloud does not have hard budget caps, which I only realized this morning after moving all my CI over to them over the past few months. Fortunately I didn't learn the hard way.

  • Counterpoint: if you can automate API calls on the client side, why can't you automate billing caps? If you want a machine that can run 24-7 and make money for you while you sleep (which let's face it is the motivation for a lot of AI takeup), isn't the onus on you to install cicuit-breakers?

  • It should be illegal to not have them

  • I wonder if BigCorp adding spending caps is due to them getting sick of customers solving it for themselves with virtual cards.

  • Wait, Google Cloud finally added hard caps on spending per service? I've been wanting that for so many years! They sure took their sweet time.

  • These shouldn't even exist without a negotiated contract.

    I can subscribe to your service for a specific fee on a monthly basis ($20/month say), and take the risk of losing that month's fee if your service or I make mistakes, or I can choose to drop another $20 mid-month, or anything for convenience.

    Saying that the computer will "control" the billing and can run haywire tells me that I don't want to be anywhere near your pile of bad incentives.
