I can imagine how creating usage limits on rented instances could get messy (example: every time a long running instance breaches the spend-limit, the provider has to decide to eat the cost and track a debt or kill what might be a mission-critical non-resumable workflow for someone).

With this in mind there are many interim solutions I would hope could be added in the near term. I like AWS’s approach with customizable billing alerts or even instance start/stop alerts. It’s not bulletproof by any means but the risk is massively reduced.
