one user told The Register they had spending caps in place that should have stopped any bill over $250. Yet according to Google those caps can be automatically upgraded to $100,000 – without user input – if the user has spent a total of $1,000 throughout the life of the account, and the account is more than a month old.

So a key way to protect themselves from this exact thing actually enables it. Something, something, cloud is cheaper?

"Yeah, the elevator car has an emergency brake stopping it from running faster than 5 m/s. Unless it traveled more than 500 meters in its service life, after which it can automatically increase that limit up to 100 m/s. Perfectly safe and sane!"
