> If you go over your budget with AWS, what should AWS do automatically? Delete your objects from S3? Terminate your databases and EC2 instances?

Why not simply take the service offline once it reaches the free tier limit??

The reason why is that AWS is greedy, and would rather force you to become a paid customer…

How do you take your S3 service offline when they charge for storage or your EBS volumes? Your databases?

Block access to the service until the next billing period starts, or the user upgrades to a paid tier.

And it is still incurring charges for storage costs.
