+# Manage usage and cost notifications [billing-notifications]
+
+To help you to better understand your costs and manage spending on {{ecloud}}, you can configure email alerts to be sent when your monthly usage reaches a specified threshold, relative to a budget that you define for your account. You can also opt to receive a biweekly summary of your organization's usage and estimated costs for the previous month.
+
+When configured, any email notifications are sent to users who are members of the Organization owner or Billing admin [user role](/deploy-manage/users-roles/cloud-organization/user-roles.md#ec_organization_level_roles).
+
+To configure email notifications for your {{ecloud}} billing:
+
+1. Log in to the [{{ecloud}} Console](https://cloud.elastic.co?page=docs&placement=docs-body).
+2. From a deployment or project on the home page, select **Manage**.
+3. From the lower navigation menu, select **Billing and Subscription**.
+4. Follow the steps to set up or change the types of email notifications you'd like to receive:
+    * [Configure budget emails](#configure-budget-emails)
+    * [Configure usage summmary emails](#configure-usage-summary-emails)
+
+Note that [Credit consumption emails](#configure-credit-consumption-emails) are also shown on the **Billing and Subscription** page, but these notifications are not configurable.
+
+## Configure budget emails [configure-budget-emails]
+
+Budget alerts can be sent when your organization's total monthly usage exceeds a threshold defined in a configurable budget.
+
+To create a budget and configure budget emails:
+
+1. Open the **Notifications** page.
+2. Select **Add budget** to specify your budget details:
+    1. Give your budget a name.
+    1. Specify a target value in [Elastic Consumption Units](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/ecu.md) (ECU). The amount you spend will be tracked against this target.
+
+    The budget scope is automatically fixed to your entire {{ecloud}} organization. Alert emails are configured automatically based on the configured budget:
+     - A warning email is sent when the organization's usage reaches 75% of the specified target amount.
+     - An overage email is sent when the organization's usage reaches 100% of the specified target amount.
+
+1. Click **Create budget** to confirm your settings.
+1. Enable **Budget email**.
+
+After creating a budget, you can navigate to the **Notifications** page at any time to view or update it, and to access the used versus total remaining ECU in your organization's budget.
+
+## Configure usage summmary emails [configure-usage-summary-emails]
+
+You can select to have a summary of your organization's usage sent on a biweekly basis. Notifications contain details about your organization's usage for the previous month as well as estimated costs.
+
+To configure usage summary emails:
+
+1. Open the **Notifications** page.
+1. Enable **Usage summary email**.
+
+The notifications are sent on the second Friday of each month.
+
+## Credit consumption emails [configure-credit-consumption-emails]
+
+Credit consumption alerts are sent when your organization has used a certain percentage of [available credits](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/ecu.md#view-available-credits). These alerts are set automatically and can't be configured.
+
+Alerts are triggered to be sent when your credit consumption reaches one of the set thresholds: 33%, 25%, and 16% of active credits remaining.
