A follow up: it turns out my AWS cost alert for $57 billion dollars (predicted July bill $81 billion; last month: $3.31) was issued in error.
So where do I submit the reimbursement for the anxiety meds and therapy that email required?

It would be hillarious… except that an accidentally misconfigured cloud account that is exploited by some nefarious hacker/AI agent is literally one of my major sources of professional anxiety, and was one of the contributing factors to my depressive episode 11 years ago. So thank for that walk down memory lane, AWS.
