That’s not how it works.

We all pay more [sic] so data centers would be over provisioned, allowing quickly expansion when we need it. I’ve been in a few incident that were root caused to a cloud provider lacking capacity to provision more instances.

As that over capacity would’ve been bought and installed in the cloud provider’s data centers regardless of the errors that are being forgiven, not billing for those errors is a net gain to the provider, at minuscule cost, if at all, to other users.
