GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

In Google Cloud, a budget is a monitoring and alerting tool. When spend reaches a threshold-such as the full budget amount-Cloud Billing sends the configured notifications (email and, if set up, Pub/Sub). However, budgets do not enforce spending caps, shut down services, or unlink billing accounts. Resources continue to run and can keep incurring costs unless you take separate action (for example, use automation triggered by the Pub/Sub alert or manually disable services). Therefore, the correct choice is the one that notes only notifications are sent and no automatic cost-stopping action occurs. The other options describe actions (service shutdown, billing account suspension, or quota errors) that budgets alone do not perform.
