FWIW, I did that once for an unrelated project and they ate the 1200 bill for a running EC2.

I dunno if they'd eat that cost again, and I wouldn't try it on purpose.

But keep in mind that they have an incentive to do this: it's the cost of acquiring users without scaring them about a possibly humongous bill.

I now have better billing alarms set.
