There's a reason price plans are 'pay as you go' - so that they don't take on any risk for things like this. Moral of the story: never go for pay as you go by usage plans if this scenario is not mitigated through a third party. By no means am I trying to suggest a get out for Netlify here - more a rule of thumb for anyone worried the same could happen to them.
When you sign up for their "Free tier" there are no big red warning that they can charge you $100,000 out of the blue.
But they do tell you the pricing structure, right?
they are taking a risk because they haven't credit checked the user
most people wouldn't be able to pay a $100k bill
