    Wait, Google Cloud finally added hard caps on spending per service? I've been wanting that for so many years! They sure took their sweet time.

    Edit: Ugh it&#x27;s fake. Literally only works for four random services, unsupported for all the rest. Completely useless for all of my projects. Also dumb that the only supported term is &quot;monthly&quot; considering that months are different lengths, and that they don&#x27;t bother to account for credits or discounts. Maybe next decade they&#x27;ll get around to implementing something useful.
