Ask HN: Why can't cloud providers offer a prepay option?

I am student that currently using azure student, but their free vm has no capacity left in all regions it is the Standard_B1s vm size.

I wouldn't mind putting my credit card in azure to access to bypass the capacity issue, and get their paid vm, but I am worried about messing up, and getting an expensive charge, but is there any reason with cloud providers like azure I can't prepay?
