       Thousands of arcane features each but neither AWS nor Azure nor Google cloud have a "don't charge > $100 this month" setting.A million ways to accidentally bankrupt yourself and no way to set a limit. What a curious omission.

       Anyway, I'm not using a system where a typo delays retirement a few years for personal projects. OVH cloud's quotas seem reasonable. Any other favorites? Current project needs an API and hourly charges, not monthly, so that rules out most little VPS providers.

       @vic And you can load specific amounts into it so it can't spend beyond. Nice.

       Well...You might want to check that. I think they still do invoices rather than just stopping service, but the good news is their billing actually makes sense and doesn't have a million hidden fees like the big vendors. They also don't oversubscribe CPUs as much as the cheaper vendors, so you don't have as many noisy neighbor woes.
