Billing Alerts

Validated on 12 Mar 2024 • Last edited on 22 Apr 2026

Billing alerts send you an email if your monthly spending exceeds an amount you specify.

By default, billing alerts are disabled. You can opt into receiving billing alerts on the Billing page of your team.

In the Billing alerts section, click Enable Alert to open the Set billing alert window. Enter the threshold amount in the Amount box (which is set to $20 by default), then click Confirm.

Note
Your monthly threshold is the amount of usage at which we attempt to charge your payment method again. It is not a spending cap and does not limit how much you can use. If a charge fails, your access to provisioning resources is restricted until payment is resolved. You can view the current amount due on the Billing page.

When your monthly spending exceeds the amount specified, you receive an email at the email address associated with your account. You can change your email address on the Account Profile page.

To opt back out of billing alerts, in the Billing alerts section, click Edit, then click Remove Alert. In the window that opens, click Remove to confirm the removal.

Billing alerts are triggered on the basis of actual usage, so projections of Droplet transfer in excess of the transfer pool do not trigger a billing alert until they are applied to the invoice.
