A budget is a way to control resource spending in Yandex Cloud.

You use a budget to configure who will get notifications and for which threshold. You can set multiple thresholds and define different notification recipients for each one.

Note

Reaching a pre-set threshold does not affect subsequent resource utilization.

Budget typesBudget types

You can use different budget types to track the use of funds by resources or your personal account balance.

Usage budgetsUsage budgets

In usage budgets, you set a spending limit for given resources over the calculation period. Users get notified as soon as consumption exceeds the specified threshold.

The following types of usage budgets are available:

  • Cost: Keeps track of the cost of resources without applying any discounts.
  • Due and payable: Keeps track of the cost of resources with discounts and active promo codes applied. This type is set by default when creating a billing account.

Budgets keep usage totals over the entire tracking period. For example, a budget created in the middle of the month will still keep track of all the monthly costs for the specified resources. You can set the tracking period to be a month, a quarter, or a year. As each subsequent tracking period begins, the budget will reset automatically. You can also set a custom tracking period by specifying the start and end dates. This type of budget will not reset after it ends.

Balance budgetBalance budget

The Balance budget type keeps track of your personal account balance and checks it against a specified threshold. Users get notified when a personal account balance falls below the threshold value.
