Please can we introduce a way to cap billing. Currently there is only email alerts. However say some unfortunate circumstance occurs and your hacked there should be a limit to billing.
I think without this then Digital Ocean would put them in a situation where they might have to cover the hacked billing. Its in both customers and Digital Oceans interest to have this feature.

Hey @alex736294,
The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
In the meantime I could suggest a few things to make sure that you protect yourself:
-
Use a strong password.
-
Enable 2FA for your account:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/accounts/security/2fa/
- Enable alerts as you already mentioned, that way you will be able to take action as early as possible.
Hope that helps! - Bobby.
