Look for the Budget Control and Alerts section.
3
Set the cap
In Monthly Spending Cap (R$), enter the maximum amount for the month for this account. Leave it blank or zero to impose no automatic limit.

- At the alert percentage: a bell notification warns that the account’s spending has reached that point.
- When the cap is reached: the account’s active campaigns are paused and a notification says how many were paused.
The cap check runs every hour. For that reason, spending may go slightly over the amount before the pause. The amounts spent come from metrics synchronization, which is also periodic.
