Not everything in AWS is a VM with a limit.

For example, their CDN has no "TB per month limit". If your site gets popular and is 100% cacheable, you could be getting a million dollar bill.

I hear similar horror stories about the various distributed databases in several clouds. They're all crazy expensive.
