AWS will send billing alert notifications via SNS. Theoretically, you could write a script to listen to the alert queue and shut down processing if you breach a pre-defined threshold.
Of course, you then need to make sure your billing script successfully terminates any processes that are costing money.
I'd love to see AWS implement hard cost limits for services like this. e.g. specify you want to spend a maximum of $10/day, and once you reach that limit your service is temporarily suspended.
