   When a customer is associated with a partner by reseller model, the customer account is frozen by default. When the account is frozen, the customer cannot purchase, renew the subscription to, change, or properly use the resources. The partner can select Unfreeze Account when setting the monthly budget for the customer to unfreeze the account.

   A message is displayed indicating that the monthly budget has been set successfully.
