> GCP's official method for doing this is … a cloud function that disables billing if your bill goes over a configured limit

I’d love it if GCP’s official method were to disable billing if your bill went over a limit.

Sadly, I suspect it would just disable systems instead.

How does "disabling billing" but not "disabling systems" work?

Is this like asking the phone company "When I reach my plan limits, stop charging me money but let me keep making calls?"

That was my point.

I think GP was incorrect in the mechanism there.

I quoted GP verbatim, they said disable billing rather than disable service or delivery or system.
