A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A user assumes a Cloud Billing budget will stop spending once the amount is reached. What do alerts-only budgets actually do?
Correct.
Concept
A monitoring control and an enforcement control are different things, and mistaking one for the other is how a bill arrives unchallenged. Naming the mechanism tells you which it is.
Why A
An alerts-only budget compares your actual spend against a planned amount and fires email notifications when a threshold rule is met. It does not enforce the amount.
Now you: objective 1.2 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
