Azure Spending Budget

Overview

This document explains how to help customers manage their Azure budgets by setting clear, trackable spending limits that simplify monitoring and control.

Cloudmore lets you:

• Set multiple email notifications to inform customers of their current spending percentage.

• Suspend a subscription once it reaches 100% of the spending budget.

Suspension may cause service disruption, downtime, or data loss. Budgets can be adjusted anytime and applied to organizations or individual subscriptions.
