Why don't they just provide a big red button to enable caps instead?
- londons_explore 6y ago> Why don't they just provide a big red button to enable caps instead? So many companies have departmental budgets and need the ability to guarantee a bill not more than $X. It seems crazy GCP doesn't have a budget limit option. In fact, AppEngine used to have a budget limit option, and they've just removed it!

- Wronnay 6y agoLooks like there is someone stealing identities, Mr Graham ^^
- graham_paul 6y agoAre you saying that there is only one person legally allowed to be called Graham Paul in the whole planet?
- dutchmartin 6y agoWell, letting customers spend money on their platform earns them money
- searchableguy 6y agoThat's true but in this instance, you can set up a max cap limit after which there would be no cap limit. I don't think google will gain much from trying to fish students and small businesses for, say $250.
