alt Hacker NewsLearnt recently DigitalOcean does not have hard budgets limits, only emails. I am surprised and torn between this being intentional vs. them not caring.
One solution is banking apps that let you create extra cards and assigning hard limits to spending. Wise & Revolut apps can do that.
Have to mention OpenRouter also, I logged into OpenRouter through pi, on the auth screen it optionally let me set a limit which is very smart and user friendly.

It’s obviously all intentional and should be reason enough to not use a platform.

You can still rack up a bill even if you can't pay for it. That solution just means the card declines when the monthly bill needs to be paid, not that you don't owe money.

That's not a solution because not paying your debts doesn't make your debts go away.
