I've got an estimated bill for $1.7 BILLION over this month. Normal usage is < $5.

Obvs have created an urgent AWS support ticket. Anyone else seeing something like this?

AMZN Q2 numbers are in, and it turns out they're going to Goldman Sachs the AI bubble.

The latest status update says things will be back to normal for everyone on the 19th.

This spells for me a busy on-call and work over the weekend.

It sucks!

You think there will be lessons learnt from mistakes?

Not a fucking chance! Business as usual come monday!

As the famous saying goes: If you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, the bank has a problem.

And them, ... actually not an error. Server costs went up with AI needs, you know. The AWS incident is about inaccuracy, not "absurd values".

You gotta catch-up or die.

I saw another post on reddit with something like a hundred trillion dollar bill. I wish I had saved that link to share it, the comments were quite comical!
