I seem to recall Azure had a similar issue until recently. Pay-as-you-go accounts weren't able to set budgets. I wanted to link the specific article mentioning that, but it seems like this works now :)

Wait, so you can now set up a hard cap on your spending and they guarantee they won't charge you more? It would be exciting but I don't believe they actually allow that especially as their competition also refused to implement that, in spite of it being no #1 requested feature for many years.

  By the looks of it (their updated documentation) it seems like they do support this now! I haven't tried it myself, and I hope it's true (:

      Okay, my bad, I was looking at this page [1] which says that the "Cost Management" feature is available for Pay-as-you-go subscriptions, but [2] is pretty clear on the fact that Spending Limits aren't available for Pay-as-you-go subscriptions. So, TL;DR: Azure still doesn't allow you to set spending limits on Pay-as-you-go subscriptions [1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/understand-cost-mgt-data#supported-microsoft-azure-offers https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-bill...
