Billing limit

[Dolaruco]

I know this has been talked about in the past, but has there been any development on how we can set a billing limit for the pay as you go plan?
Really worried about a DOS attack blowing up my bill, or even an accident while configuring my infrastructure.
All the big ones have this feature (Azure, AWS, etc), so can we open a formal request for this? At the bare minimum some kind of alert.

Hi… I would like this, too, but it has been formally requested and formally denied:†

@lillian

We (Fly) are aware this is a requested feature, there’s no plans to add it at the moment but it hasn’t been rejected either. It’s not really useful to argue on it further.

(That was only one month ago.)

I’ve added the wishlist tag to your post, which is the closest there is to a feature-suggestion tracker for this side of things.

This part can be undone retroactively, as has been mentioned in basically all recent threads on billing limits.

Not everyone is happy with this as a substitute, but the arguments pro and con have really all already played out now.

Currently it is formally rejected, one day it will be formerly rejected
