   • When you set one-time budgets for customers, you also need to set Account freezing upon one-time budget exhaustion to Automatic or Manual.

   • The spending for a one-time budget begins accumulating from the month of successful configuration, and the data may be delayed by about 10 minutes.
   • If a customer account is frozen, the customer cannot purchase resources. If you want to unfreeze the account, select Unfreeze Now and click OK.
   • You can view adjustment records of one-time budgets by clicking Adjustment Records.
   • Click the eye icon next to a header to show or hide the complete content in the column. The content is hidden by default. For example, you can click the eye icon next to Customer/Account Name to show or hide the complete content of customer names.

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

   A message is displayed indicating one-time budget setting success.
