Been lucky enough to visit that park and it's a fantastic place. Take a walking tour and see the chimp groups up close.

AWS should provide features where you are prompted to set a hard budget limit when you first signup and services fail once that's exceeded

They should, but the entire internal metering & bill generation pipeline isn't setup to support that. You can configure billing alerts but these will only refresh on updates to your estimated bill (typically re-computed every 8hrs). And since service teams are responsible for posting metering records to commerce platform their implementation may vary.

TLDR: AWS Commerce Platform is a mess.

For exactly the same reasons, Amazon limits message retentions on it's internal Slack platform and aggressively enforces mailbox quotas in it's internal email system. Up to some shady shenanigans, and don't have to hand it over as part of discovery if they don't got the record in the first place. Exactly the same way criminal gangs operate!
