Hi!

I'm on the blaze plan. And because of a little bug in my code, I downloaded 400gig this weekend. So I'll have to pay 400$ this month..... My bad....

But is there an alert feature that can send me an email when I reach a certain amount on a project?

Like for a project, I should never have to pay more than, for example, 30$. Whan I'm near this limit, I receive an email...

This could save me a lot of money! ;-)

Thanks

VB

Hi Vincent,

It is possible to set up billing alerts to prevent this from happening, but it's done in the Google Cloud console, not the Firebase console. To set up alerts, go to the Cloud console, choose your project, and then follow the instructions under "create a budget" here.

Also, support should be able to help out with the big bill from this month. Just send us a description of your bug and what you've done to fix it, as well as the amount you'd like to be credited/refunded :)

Best,
Jeff
