Having spent some time on branding and with relevant firms, I have learned that branding and design can have a strong effect on the culture of a company.

This leads me to think the simplistic arrangement of six number 6s OpenAI went with is a bit strange given cultural connotations.

Has any backstory been leaked or told regarding the thought that went into this logo choice?

Over a year ago I migrated one of my companies away from AWS and deleted all EC2 and Kubernetes instances. I recently noticed that regardless of these cancellations, AWS has consistently billed for "CloudWatch".

The service team sent back a bunch of general information about costs and instructions to remove a "Metric Filter" which from my follow-up I can confirm does not exist on my account.

The detailed billing shows charges like this across US regions:

$0.00 per request - first 1,000,000 requests 239,785 Requests

$0.01 per 1,000 metrics requested using GetMetricData API - US West (Northern California) 295,570 Metrics

Do others have experience with miscellaneous charges that are impossible to cancel? Any tips for dealing with support on this to get answers beyond copy/paste support articles?
