Billing is traditionally not built into critical paths, but on async or even batch processing of logs from those systems. I doubt any system at Amazon really knows what you’ve spent until after the fact.

I think that’s true, but that’s a reflection of what people considered important when they built it. It’s not the only way to build things.
