This feature is available to Workspace Accountable and Privileged members
It's crucial to keep track of your workspace costs. Naturally, we do not want to spend more than you had planned.
For your workspace, you can specify one or more budgets. By default workspace budget will be set at the workspace creation and can be modified or removed by Workspace Accountable, Privileged members.
A budget can be an estimate of what you think you will spend, or how much you want to spend at maximum.
Based on the budgeted amount of money, you can turn on e-mail notifications that trigger at 60, 80, 90 and 100% of that amount.
A budget is a not a hard limit to your spending! It is a warning. This means you can still spend more than you set your budget to.
Budgets are compared to the raw expenditure of your workspace resources. This excludes VAT and any additional charges or discounts associated with your Microsoft billing account.
Viewing the budget
Workspace Accountable, Privileged members, Advanced members and Standard members can view existing budgets.
