there is no way to cap your billing on gcp.

you can get notifications but that's it.

i don't want to get throttled below my quota but some type of spend limit would be good.

and the notifications can be delayed because the spending system is not updated in real-time, so even if you have a Cloud Task triggering on spending to disable the project it may be too slow and several thousands may already be spent.

Is there a cloud provider that does have hard unbreakable billing caps? Everything I've seen has always been notifications or soft caps.

Not talking about fixed-access things like a Hetzer box.
