Spend allocation - I want teams to be able to check their current consumption compared to spend allocation

[Angelodaniel]

Problem Statement

For each project, we configure spend allocation
Now, developers of that project can't know that billing quota starts 13th of month (and not 1st of month) and that they already used 50%.

They need to know what is their per-project projection of quota usage and if they need to act to prevent running out of per-project quota. So maybe they need to change sampling, maybe ask for more quota, maybe.... - otherwise, they are blind for monitoring.

At this moment there is no way to surface this inside of Sentry

• Team members with Manager, Billing, or Owner-level permissions will be notified via email when 80% of your Spend Allocation for each project has been consumed, and then again when 100% has been used up.
  • Which is not general members or Team admins so that's where the gap is.
• Dashboards don't have access to the this kind of data so that won't work in a scalable way
• Spend allocation is on Org level which means general members or Team Admins don't have access to it.

Hi, you're correct that there does not exist separate notifications for spend allocation consumption.

Team members with Manager, Billing, or Owner-level permissions will be notified via email when 80% of your Spend Allocation for each project has been consumed, and then again when 100% has been used up.

These notifications are actually available to any member in your org, but don't entirely solve your use case as it notifies for usage across the entire org and not per project per spend allocation. However if this is an acceptable workaround, ensure the thresholds are set here, and any member can go to their personal notification settings and turn on Spend Notifications.

Appreciate the feedback and we'll consider adding notifications for spend allocation usage when we revisit this feature for improvements.

Hey @brianthi, thanks for answering this.
The problem that we're trying to solve is to have Developers be aware of them reaching the Spend allocation limit of their projects as much Self serve as possible.
Reason why the workaround won't work:

• It's per org not per project, Devs don't care about the org quota but about their project quota.
