<p>We are turning on budget alerts by default for eligible Pay-as-you-go accounts. If your account does not already have a budget alert, Cloudflare will create one for you with a $10 account-level threshold. Your default alert will enable at the turn of your next billing cycle, so it will not fire based on usage you have already incurred.</p> <p>We are rolling this out in cohorts over the coming weeks, so eligible accounts may see their default alert appear at different times.</p> <p>The default alert behaves exactly like an alert you would create yourself. When your cumulative usage-based spend this cycle reaches the threshold, you receive an email notification. The alert is informational only. It does not cap your usage or impact your account in any way.</p> <p>Usage is processed once per day for the prior day's activity, so budget alerts fire the day after the threshold is reached rather than in real time.</p> <p>Budget alerts only consider spend on usage-based products. Recurring subscription fees, such as the Workers Paid plan fee or other monthly plan charges, are not included in the threshold calculation.</p> <p>You can change the threshold, add additional alerts, or remove the default alert entirely from <strong>Manage Account</strong> > <strong>Billing</strong> > <strong>Billable Usage</strong>, or from your Notifications settings. If you already configured your own budget alert, nothing changes.</p> <p>Enterprise contract accounts are not in scope.</p> <p>For more information, refer to the <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/billing/manage/budget-alerts/">Budget alerts documentation</a>.</p>
