Is there a way I can set a limit on my AWS spend? I've tried AWS Budgets and also CloudWatch. but they seem to support only notifications- unless I'm missing something.

  • While you can't set a spending limit, you can set up an alert when your AWS spending reaches a certain threshold. – Mike Dinescu Dec 19 '16 at 05:58
  • If you don't want an alert, what exactly do you want when the spending reaches the limit? – helloV Dec 19 '16 at 06:55

    "what exactly do you want", well, for a sandbox/playground account, I want it to shut down all resources that cost money. – Thayne Oct 29 '19 at 23:58

No it is not possible.

You can set only the notifications if forecasting cost exceeds the threshold through AWS budgets / CloudWatch.
