It's not sudden, the account owner disappeared and the account user (the one making all the noise) did not get ownership transferred.

Is this a great situation? No. It's also not "I did everything right and boo hoo AWS did a boo boo". AWS is not your friend, but you also weren't the customer, that was the middleman you gave ownership to.

That does not appear to be an accurate representation of the story linked in the article[1]. There was no middle man. What are you referring to?

The article says so:

> AWS blamed the termination on a “third-party payer” issue. An AWS consultant who’d been covering my bills disappeared, citing losses from the FTX collapse. The arrangement had worked fine for almost a year—about $200/month for my testing infrastructure.

He essentially got screwed over by the consultant. Everything else is a side-effect but not material to the cause.
