Overview

You can configure budget alerts for Crusoe Cloud resources to notify you when applicable resource usage exceeds a specified threshold. Budgets can be configured to be daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly, which means they will reset after the specified period, and they are evaluated daily shortly after midnight UTC.

When a budget is exceeded, a notification is automatically sent via email and in the console to all users with organization-level roles. You may additionally set up Slack and webhook alerting. For set up instructions, see Notifications.
