7

High-cardinality metrics multiply costs - Metrics with many unique label combinations (pods, containers) can explode to 10,000+ time series

9

AWS Marketplace consumption billed separately - Using Logz.io via AWS Marketplace adds AWS service fees on top of Logz.io charges

Overage charges if you exceed committed volume - Enterprise contracts with volume commitments charge premium rates for overages (typically 1.5x base rate)
