When I was early in my career freelancing my AWS account was shut down for no payment for over a year, more than half a decade later I re-opened it through support and they wouldn’t even let me pay my old bill.

I’ve been able to reduce reserved instances when the market has turned unpredictable.

AWS isn’t a pushover, not even a little bit. Dealing with them externally has just been a good experience with professional understanding and a flexible business sense.
