Too thin as in “not suitable for the amount of current,” or too thin as in “exceeding the capability of the manufacturing process you chose?” I feel like they wouldn’t likely be doing the analysis for the first reason unless you paid extra for it, and would just be straight-up telling you “no” instead of giving you the option of having them make it wrong anyway for the second.

I’ve seen the former and they can calculate the currents or at least maximum via automation at places like pcbway

  Do you have to have them do the assembly too for that service to kick in? I’ve ordered bare PCBs a couple of times and wasn’t aware of it.

    Not sure. I haven’t designed them but follow a few projects closely enough to have seen the designer saying the plant called about questionable traces. I’ve only ever bought bare PCBs.
