Par for the course for AWS. I tried following their quickstart Sagemaker guide to run Llama 2 a few months back. And it certainly spins up quick, but next day I realize it's running me $400/day.

I was able to get the charges reversed, but definitely learned not to trust their guides.

Bug: Guide charged the user $400/day

Status: Won't fix (working as intended)

Notes: Got the author promoted to SDE III for great impact and revenue boost

Feature request: Write more guides that charge the user $400/day for a toy example.
