Short evidence fragment

AWS Budgets information is updated up to three times a day.

Researcher’s reading note

Budgets supports alerts and optional actions, including policies that block additional provisioning. Notifications can arrive after costs exceed the threshold.

Limits and use

A policy denying new provisioning does not imply all existing usage stops. Enforcement capabilities and billing latency must be tested for the target service.
