Woah, how does Google Cloud still not support budget capping?

It has budget alerting, so the capabilities are obviously there, but it's never been added. Instead, there's just a vaguely insulting guide on writing a script to catch the alert and trigger a shutdown...

Google App Engine has spending cutoffs. Cloud allows API call cutoffs, but for actual spend it only has alerts. Their 'controlling budget' page sends you to a guide on writing your own triggers to respond to those alerts:
