* Use the Amazon Web Services Budgets API to plan your service usage, service costs, and instance reservations. This * API reference provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each of the actions and data types for the Amazon * Web Services Budgets feature. *
** Budgets provide you with a way to see the following information: *
** How close your plan is to your budgeted amount or to the free tier limits *
** Your usage-to-date, including how much you've used of your Reserved Instances (RIs) *
** Your current estimated charges from Amazon Web Services, and how much your predicted usage will accrue in charges by * the end of the month *
** How much of your budget has been used *
** Amazon Web Services updates your budget status several times a day. Budgets track your unblended costs, * subscriptions, refunds, and RIs. You can create the following types of budgets: *
** Cost budgets - Plan how much you want to spend on a service. *
** Usage budgets - Plan how much you want to use one or more services. *
** RI utilization budgets - Define a utilization threshold, and receive alerts when your RI usage falls below * that threshold. This lets you see if your RIs are unused or under-utilized. *
** RI coverage budgets - Define a coverage threshold, and receive alerts when the number of your instance hours * that are covered by RIs fall below that threshold. This lets you see how much of your instance usage is covered by a * reservation. *
