title: How do I set a cost limit in Google Developers Console
body: <p>Some functions in the Google Developers Console, like the Analytics API, are free until you reach a quota. Other functions, like Google Cloud Storage, create costs from the first click.</p>
  
  <p>When I upload a file under <code>https://console.developers.google.com/ &gt; Storage &gt; Cloud Storage &gt; Storage Browser</code> and I make this file publicly available, I pay about $0.12 per GB traffic.</p>
  
  <p>But theoretically the traffic to this link could explode, e.g. because of sudden popularity. Therefore I would like to set something like a daily or monthly cost limit. </p>
  
  <p>Q: How do I protect myself from overly high costs in the Google Developers Console?</p>
