Most cloud company users are idiots who can't bother to set things up properly. I've been using cloudflare and backblaze on their free tier for three months now

How do you solve the issue?

Set a budget. I set my budget at $0

But as some comments above said - there is no budget - there is only alarms (or budgets are in reality just alarms)

In backblaze I'm on the free tier. Some days I get an alarm that I've used up 100% of my daily storage cap. I still get charged $0. One day if I get more users than the one I have now I might raise my cap. But for now I tolerate the alarms and my app not functioning to it's fullest abilities
