Cloud Bill Shock Response™

Problem

• Cloud bills can spike 2×–10× overnight
• A single misconfigured service, leaked key, or runaway workload can create tens of thousands in unexpected charges
• Most businesses only discover the issue when the monthly invoice arrives
• These shocks can drain cash flow, delay payroll, or even threaten business continuity

Solution

When bill shock happens, you need more than a support ticket - you need an advocate

Cloud Bill Shock Response™ is powered by a team of cloud architects and FinOps experts with years of experience working inside AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We know how cloud providers think, how they review credit requests, and what evidence really matters. We know how providers evaluate credit requests, what evidence matters, and how to frame your case.

We act as your trusted representative: presenting you as a responsible customer who understands what went wrong and has taken corrective steps. This approach strengthens your relationship with the provider, rather than damaging it, while maximizing your chances of getting money back.

‍No risk for you - if you don’t get money back, you owe us nothing

FAQ

How soon should I contact you after noticing a bill spike?

▼

The sooner the better. Prompt action strengthens your case, as providers often issue credits when you demonstrate quick corrective measures and provide early documentation.

How long does the process usually take?

▼

RCA preparation: 3–5 business days. Provider review and decision: typically 2–6 weeks, depending on the provider’s review queue and case complexity. We provide transparent updates throughout.

Does requesting credits affect my standing with the provider?

▼

No. Formal, documented cases do not negatively affect your support tier, SLA eligibility, or account trust level.

Which cloud providers are supported?

▼

We support AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform as primary providers. Please contact us for other providers.

Can you handle multi-account or organization-wide billing?

▼

Yes. We can analyze organization-level and consolidated billing data to identify which accounts or projects caused cost anomalies across your organization.

Can you help if my account has already been suspended?

▼

Yes. We can still prepare the RCA and represent your case to the provider. The restricted console access may slow evidence collection, but we’ll advise alternatives. We’ll also help you communicate with the billing department to arrange payment plans or reinstatement once credits are applied.

What level of access will you need to my cloud account?

▼

We require Read-only access to Billing/Cost Explorer, Cost & Usage Reports and service-level where usage detail is required.

How do you protect sensitive data?

▼

We enforce least-privilege and MFA, operate under NDA, and store artifacts securely. Data retention is limited to the engagement window plus 14 days, then purged.

Where are credits or refunds applied?

▼

Any credits or refunds are issued directly by the cloud provider into your own account.

How do you charge for this service?

▼

We work on a success-based model. You pay only if credits or refunds are secured. Our fee is a percentage of the recovered amount, agreed in advance.

What if no credits are approved?

▼

If no credits are approved, there is no charge. You will still receive the complete Root Cause Analysis and detailed prevention recommendations to help you avoid similar incidents in the future.
