Arguments

number

The number of credits allocated to the budget per month. When total usage for all objects assigned to the budget reaches this number for the current month, the budget is considered to be at 100% of the spending limit.

For the account budget, all supported objects contribute to the credit usage.

If a value is not specified for a budget, the budget has no spending limit, will never reach 100% usage, and will not trigger notifications.

Default: -1 (no spending limit).

Returns

The spending limit has been updated to <n> credits.
