Budgets and Alerts

This lesson covers setting up budgets and alerts at project and billing account level.

We have $300 in free credits. We want to make sure that we use those and not get billed for extra charges. How can we do this? Well, budgets and alerts are here to help. Setting up our budget of $300 and setting up alerts for 50%, 90% and 100% of actual spending can save us from getting charged extra on our credit cards.

So, let’s do it.

We can set budgets for each billing account.

Please note that credits are provided to the first billing account only. Projects linked to the second and subsequent billing accounts may charge you. So, to avoid this, attach all projects to the first billing account only and remove the existing ones from other billing accounts that don’t have credits. To check the available credits for your billing account, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Main menu > Billing.
  2. Select the primary billing account (first billing account).

You will see the available credits at the bottom corner. The currency is based on the country you choose.
