It is unfortunate that most of these services don't have a pre pay tier.

On the one hand I get that if your business depends on such a service you don't want it to suddenly go down. But on the other hand there is almost never a hard mechanism to limit your risk. Or if there is, it is opt-in. The conspiracist in me says this is working exactly as planned for AWS as they have no financial incentive to limit customer risk.
