About Budget Alert Emails
Budget alert emails are sent during the billing period when an alert threshold for the following criteria has been exceeded:
- Budget Threshold Amount
- Alert Type
- Alert Threshold Amount
- Alert Threshold Type
If you change any of your threshold criteria after a budget alert email has already been sent, you will receive a subsequent email when the new criteria is exceeded, even during the same billing period.
Required IAM Policy
To use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must be granted security access in a policy by an administrator. This access is required whether you're using the Console or the REST API with an SDK, CLI, or other tool. If you get a message that you don't have permission or are unauthorized, verify with your administrator what type of access you have and which compartment to work in.
If you're new to policies, see Getting Started with Policies and Common Policies.
