Budgets are only for notification purposes. When you reach your budget, services aren't turned off and continue to be billed at their applicable rates.
Alerts
Use alerts to control monthly spending and adjust your spending and usage. Alerts inform you when you're approaching a budget threshold or a free-tier limit.
Choose a tool for your alerts:
- The notification tray in the Unity Cloud Dashboard
- Slack
Budget usage may take up to a day to be reported. This delay affects the calculated spend during the budget period. Budget alert notifications may be delayed.
