 A user on the tor-relays list [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 relays/2013-December/003469.html reported] that his Tor Cloud instance had
 defaulted to 1024 GB of storage space, which resulted in a $120 bill at
 the end of the month. It seems AWS has set the default storage space value
 for our t1.micro instances to 1024 GB in the following regions: us-west-1,
 us-west-2, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-1, sa-east-1, ap-southeast-2, eu-
 west-1.

 I have pinged @AWSSupport on Twitter. It would be good to update the Tor
 Cloud website with new screenshots of the setup process and a warning
 informing users to change this value to 4 GB (which is the default for us-
 east-1).
