Google Cloud Spend Caps Reach General Availability with API and Monthly Resets

Google Cloud has made spend caps on Cloud Billing Budgets generally available, pausing new usage of a service in a project once a monthly budget is hit, without deleting resources. GA adds an API, estimated live costs, and automatic monthly resets, but caps cover only the Gemini API, the Agent Platform, Cloud Run, and Cloud Run functions, and overages during enforcement delays are still billed.
