Ask HN: Experience with AWS goodwill in case of self-inflicted high bills

21 pointshenriklippke7 comments

Do you have experiences with high AWS bills due to your own mistakes?

For example, I have generated a 4000$ bill within 24 hours by an AWS Lambda function reading a row from a DynamoDB table and then called itself again using an EventBridge event ;( And that with a concurrency of 300 and so I quickly reached the 4000$ within a few hours.

I immediately opened a support ticket, but it's been 4 weeks now and it seems nobody can or wants to help me.

What are your experiences?
