Overprovisioning feels safer until the bill arrives.
Requesting more capacity than you need feels like the cautious choice. No risk of running out mid-task, no scrambling for resources under pressure.
But safety margins cost money every hour they sit unused, whether or not anything goes wrong.
The real safeguard isn't extra capacity sitting idle. It's infrastructure that can scale up the moment you actually need it.
Provisioning for peace of mind is still provisioning for a bill.
