Interesting! If it sat in a Lambda-Spot-only-queue, there would need to be agreement that the price boundaries actually hit your "bid price" otherwise it's possible that your functions would never rube triggered to run.

Since everyone's pay threshold is different, it would hard for amazon to set an agreed-upon price. And which functions could your application risk not run?

The biggest question I have would be, what would be the incentive for Amazon to do this? If you really need to run your code you'll run it (probably using their infra) regardless of your personal cost.
