You wouldn’t be charged thousands because the service is pre-paid. Your websites will be suspended once the balance runs out, but you can re-establish them once you add more balance.
AFAIK is the only provider in which you can have functional billing limits and not just alerts that still depend on you reacting on them in time.
Where in the terms of service or in the admin UI do you see this information? You can pre-pay, yes, and the CDN service (and ONLY the CDN service) has a setting to stop the billing. But the other services do not seem to have a limit on how much you can get billed.
I don't have a credit card on file, I'm not sure how they are going get paid if my balance goes negative.

But yes, other services will run until your account is dry, then it gets suspended. You can't set a spend limit on your scripts without it taking down the whole account. You can't do cost optimization, but at least you are protected from going bankrupt.
It's not purely prepaid otherwise I wouldn't be charged into negative (see my other comment in this thread).
It’s not like they’re going to put a debt collector after the $0.73 that you’d owe, so I’m not sure what was your point. If you want the services to continue you gotta have some balance. If they allow your account to run below balance I’d say that’s on them.
My point was to correct one claim in your previous comment.

Problem is, Cloudflare's free tier plan effectively sets the limit to $0.
Exactly!
I once had some pretty serious DoS attack, but fortunately, I didn't had to pay more than what was pre-paid.
