You are assuming that the auto-upgrade would necessarily require you to have the eC available at the time of request. Doesn't have to be this way... you could request the auto-upgrade regardless of your account balance, but when the T+ window opens for you, it could check at that point and deny the upgrade if the balance is insufficient.
As for the rest of your post, rolled eyes are just plain rude. Surely you can make your point without resorting to them.
