Billing Threshold Alerts
Proactive cost control via configurable billing thresholds. Get notified before your usage exceeds budget limits — no surprises on invoice day.
Overview
Define percentage-based or fixed-amount thresholds against your monthly billing forecast. When crossed, Meridian fires alerts via email, webhook, or dashboard notification. Combine with auto-lockout rules to hard-cap spend.
Threshold Types
- 50%Warning — heads-up notification, no action taken.
- 80%Critical — alert all billing contacts, optional webhook.
- 100%Hard cap — auto-suspend non-essential workloads.
