How can I put a spend limit on my hobby account?
I've signed up for a hobby account and want to put a limit on how much I can spend monthly. I can see an option to receive alerts when I go over a limit, but can't see where the limit is. Any help appreciated thank you

There is no way to set an execution limit. The best way if you don’t want it to exceed a certain amount is when you get the notification, remove the deploy

Following on from this question, is there no way I can put a hard limit on usage? Is it in the plans to introduce this feature?
I don't want my hobby project to get a flood of requests overnight racking up cost.
there is no current way, but like i have demonstrated, you get emails, so unless you plan on ignoring emails you will have plenty of time to intervene
I think the notification works well if it's a gradual increase. What about a developer error that significantly increases memory usage in short span of time? Or an attack?
What about a developer error that significantly increases memory usage in short span of time?speaking from a experience, ive done this, it was a unbroken for loop that was running across multiple threads, and was left unchecked for the night, woke up with an alert email from railway, fixed the code shortly after, my screw up only costed me ~3$
Or an attack?cloudflare, fastly, etc tl;dr it really isnt as big of an issue as you would think
