Budget Brake

Budget Brake projects the day's cloud spend from the run rate so far and pings the room the moment that projection passes your daily cap. The ping shows spend so far, the projected end-of-day total, and how far over the ceiling it's headed — early enough to kill a runaway job before the invoice does the talking. Feed it your current spend on a schedule by POSTing to a webhook URL — a billing export, a cost-explorer query, or a nightly cron pull all work. Set the cap once; it does the projection and only pings when you're on track to break it. Anything that can send an HTTP request, webhook, or MCP call can push the number, including an MCP client wired to your cloud account. Operated by PingRoom.
