this is the digital equivalent of literally pulling the plug. i wonder how long it takes for GCP to register that you've pulled billing though? in some cases i'm sure even milliseconds could make a large difference.
This is ridiculous. I'm guessing a huge revenue source is going after businesses for long-tail billing spikes.
Not only do I have to worry about bad code causing a huge bill, I also have to worry about the quality of code (or config) that emergency stops the billing.
I wonder if you can sign up with a pre-paid credit card and use a fake name.
