You (the cloud provider) can shut down VMs, block access to all services, and just retain the content in storage until the bill is resolved or the account is permanently closed. The cost would be trivial as storage is dirt cheap.

AFAIK Heroku shuts down your stuff if your Dynos are overspending :P
