Aws contains a few different ways to set limits or quotas on how much services can cost, these are some of those ways.

In setting policies for users you can set them to free tier only so they are not allowed to use any instances that would incur a charge and any instances that do incur a charge would be terminated.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alerts can be created that trigger skrips, whos purpose is to stop any instances that have a cost overrun to reduce the amount of unexpected service charges.
