A budget is a monthly spending limit that you set for selected services across all projects in an organization. You can define alerts for specific thresholds.
Budgets are only for notification purposes. When you reach your budget, services are not disabled and continue to be billed at their applicable rates.
Alerts
Use alerts to stay notified of monthly spending for data usage of Unity Gaming Services. Alerts inform you when you're approaching a budget threshold or a free-tier limit. This way, you can adjust your spending and usage accordingly.
You can receive alerts in various ways:
- The Notification tray in the Unity Cloud Dashboard
- Slack
Budget usage can take up to a day to be reported. This delay affects the calculated spend during the budget period. Budget alert notifications may be delayed.
