Description

### What is the URL of the page with the issue?

_No response_

### What did you do?

I deployed construct hub with default settings

### What did you expect to happen?

Cost < $100 a day

### What actually happened?

It behaved as expected for 7 days and then over a period of approximately 24 hours it spent $10,000 and then went back to normal spend.

### Web Browser

_No response_

### OS

_No response_

### Other information

I accept responsibility for the charges - I deployed a project with defaults and didn't pay enough attention to it, plus I wasn't paying attention to my budget alerts!

I have spent some time looking at what happened and I understand some but not all. It was a test stack and I'll be deleting it, but before I do delete it, I was wondering if you are interested in knowing what happened or if you want any information from me.

I haven't attempted to reproduce!!

Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or entry points. Review the default Construct Hub deployment and the approximately 24-hour cost spike, then determine whether it is reproducible and what change or documentation would prevent it. Done means identifying the cause and documenting or correcting the relevant default behavior.
