  • Set a maximum monthly spend for an AWS project.
  • When the limit is reached, AWS can pause the project and stop its resources.
  • Get notifications at 50%, 75%, and 90% of your limit.
  • Designed mainly for learning, experiments, and sandbox environments.
  • You can apply Spend Limits to up to 10 projects.

Budgets ā†’ Alert you
Spend Limits ā†’ Can actually stop resources
