Ran into this. Was constantly denied time to properly load test and configure things. So it all went in with default values and high resources. Then they got the bill, throttled everything down, and then normal compute processing was missing SLAs measured in half-days.

But look on the bright side. Every minute of the day programmers were typing, creating value, instead of wasting company money reading or thinking.
