I've got both what I would consider a personal VPS as well as a more commercial VPS. For the personal VPS, I wouldn't care if it got immediately firewalled if I hit the transfer target, but for the commercial VPS I wouldn't want it to lose connectivity, even if it tripped into unexpected costs (double or triple). TBH, I keep an eye on the transfer emails for this very reason; I'd renegotiate with Andy before it got to that stage, but I'm not one of the outliers...

Kind regards

Another hobby user here. While it would be a little inconvenient to be cut off it would be greatly preferable to an enormous bill. I think a user-configurable limit would be the way forward, if only because you're likely to get a lot of variation in what people consider an acceptable point to cut off service. Us personal users will have a different pain threshold than someone who's got commercial interests, for example.

+1 - my only problem is that I'm hosting my mail at my VM, so getting
suspended would be a major inconvenience to say the least.

I should probably make sure I've registered a secondary contact-method.

But as others say, an extra month or two would be fine; a 300 times
increase however would be a problem.
