I get $150 azure credit a month - my subscription has no credit card attached, when I reach the limit everything shuts down.
Azure have the ability to stop everything at a specific limit - they choose not to make it available,

I’m willing to bet it’s the latter. If in a normal account, you’d then incurred $152.78 or $166.39, did the limit work? Would customers agree?
My cloud bills continue to change for several days past the end of the month (for legitimate calculations that come in for usage incurred during the month).
We couldn't technically make it stop exactly at $150.00, but only at $167.89 or whatever, so we are letting it run to $15k.
For catastrophic cases it doesn't matter. If it saves a person from an unexpected $15k bill then it works. Even for many businesses it would be ok to drop everything - I know some which can withstand being offline for a day, but not a $250k bill.
