This is a warning for all those who fell for the hype and are not using flat-rate services like Hetzner Cloud.

Seriously, if you are not big and cannot afford losing tons of money by simple human mistakes, don't use a billing system that doesn't allow you to set up a hard cap on spending, period.

I would also set the threshold at "if you cannot afford premium support and a TAM allocated to you"

A TAM being a Technical Account Manager, some representative from AWS who is assigned to you who should become your point of contact with AWS.

We do have an account manager, but they are pretty unresponsive and reply to emails very slowly. It would take a week for a round of messages.

you should escalate this to their manager i guess. you're probably paying a chunk of their salary.

but then again, google is not really well known for their support experience.

How can I get their manager's contact? By asking a friend at Google?
