Both AWS and shared hosting providers run on a “F you. Pay me!” model. The difference is that small hosting resellers knew they couldn’t collect on debts while Amazon knows it can.

If your talking about crappanel exceeded bandwidth suspension page it wasn't realltime, can't remember if default was 1hr,6hr, 24 though

Even if not realtime, it sounds like a better option than AWS' current "not supported at all; you'll have to manually shut things down if costs overrun".
