Budgets allow you to manage cost and usage by providing notifications when cost or usage are outside of configured amounts. They cannot be used to restrict actions, only notify on usage after it has occurred.
Budgets and notifications are updated when your billing data is updated, which is at least once per day.
NOTE: You may not receive an alarm for a forecasted budget if your account is new. Forecasting requires existing usage within the account.
We will create a monthly cost budget which will notify if the forecasted amount exceeds the budget.
