Ask HN: I (student) accidentally ran out of AWS credits. What can I do?
Basically I was testing different services with my credits and suddenly I see this upcoming bill will be $200. Sure this seems not a lot. But I think it's quite hefty as there was no warning that my credits ran out.

Hello hoerzu,
I think this might help to avoid such cases in the future:
Setting a monthly cost budget with a fixed target amount to track all costs associated with your account. You can choose to be alerted for both actual (after accruing) and forecasted (before accruing) spends.

Depends what you are using those credits for. Can you do the same with Google cloud credits?
Tweet at https://twitter.com/AWSSupport, they tend to refund/undo large bills when people get bill shock.
