Never used AWS but would it help to bake a daemon into your default OS image that shuts it down after 24 hours? That way you need to manually disable it for the ones you want to keep.
Usually what happens is people create lambda functions on AWS which are basically managed functions that get invoked when a request comes in (think a modern version of CGI), and then if there are a lot of requests then the user can easily end up with a huge bill.
Damn.
I suppose the obvious question of why Amazon doesn't have an intuitive way of rate limiting those can be answered by the huge bills people rack up.
Because they have a predatory business model.
