With respect to AWS, the answer is &quot;eventually;&quot; they try multiple times to reach you first. First they&#x27;ll suspend your account before deleting everything.<p>There&#x27;s no &quot;dodge their calls indefinitely and thus win free service for life.&quot;

Had an issue with our credit card on Azure. It had been maxed out on unrelated charges and could not process for Azure.<p>Microsoft waived the fee for the month, in the region of 100s as a good will gesture. However, they did warn us to resolve the problem before the next billing cycle or face service disruptions.
