Questions, answered
Does it stop an instance or change billing settings itself?
No. WebRun only reads usage and billing and reports them. Stopping an instance or changing a billing setting always stays your decision in the console.
How are the usage and cost thresholds set?
You set them during setup, one for resource usage and one for projected spend, and WebRun compares every hourly reading against exactly those numbers.
Can I see the detail behind an alert?
Yes. Every hour archives a full usage and billing report to Google Drive, so you can trace exactly which instance or service is behind any Slack alert.
