Thank you, I followed your tips and it worked nicely.

One question: Can you limit the budget spent? Like telling aws: "do not spend over this sum no matter what"

Hi, thanks, glad it was helpful. I don't believe so. You could use the AWS API to turn off services after a certain threshold. Maybe using a Lambda function. Also another option is using an Alarm State Trigger when creating a billing alarm. They include actions such as stopping, rebooting, and terminating an instance.
