Coming here to chime in, I also just ran into this issue. When chatting with the Vercel bot, they asked me to post this in the community forum. I think it’s a horrible experience to have this turned on by default without any warning that you are racking up these bills. I was on the hobby plan and never paid for build minutes. I then upgraded to pro, and when I was adjusting some other settings, I noticed I had over $140 in build minute charges this cycle without any warning or notice. This is not all right to have that turned on to turbo by default and to charge that fee. This should be an opt-in.
