A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Fear of this is why I've never relied on free tiers unless there's some kind of spend circuit breaker available.
Yeah it seems like such an obvious feature. May be there was one and the OOP didn't enable that.
I'm sure there not being one is the feature. Trapping people into the free tier and getting them on overages.
Of course for a hobby site that will never manage to pay this is not a good business model but I can see how this works for more moderate corporate use.
