Automated Genesis Cloud GPU Spend Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens the Genesis Cloud console, checks every running instance's uptime and hourly rate, logs the current running cost as a row in Google Sheets, and emails you through Gmail whenever the day's projected spend crosses the threshold you set, so a GPU bill never spikes without warning.
How do I catch a Genesis Cloud GPU spend spike before it hits my bill?
Every hour, WebRun checks every running Genesis Cloud instance's uptime and hourly rate, logging the accrued cost to Google Sheets. Whenever the day's projected spend crosses the threshold you set, it emails you through Gmail naming which instances are driving the increase, so a GPU bill never spikes without warning.
- A spend spike gets caught within the hour, not at the monthly invoice
- Every alert names the instances driving the increase, not just the total
- An hourly log lets you trace exactly when cost started climbing

- Add a new row with this hour's running cost total
- Keep the day's prior hours in place so the trend within the day is visible

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it stop or terminate a running instance itself?
No. WebRun only reads running time and cost and reports them. Stopping or terminating an instance always stays a decision you make in the console.
How is the spend threshold set?
You set a dollar amount for projected daily spend during setup, and WebRun compares the current hour's projection against exactly that figure.
Can I see the cost breakdown behind an alert?
Yes. Every hour logs a row to Google Sheets, so you can see exactly which hour and which instances drove spend toward the threshold.
