Any existing codespaces that are still running will be shut down in a short time, but you will not be charged for usage after you have reached your spending limit.

## Managing usage and spending limit email notifications
Email notifications are sent to account owners and billing managers when spending reaches 75%, 90%, and 100% of an account's spending limit.
You can turn off these notifications at any time from the "Billing and plans" page. To turn off notifications, under "Email alerts", deselect the **Spending limits alerts** checkbox.
For personal accounts only, you can also choose to turn off email notifications that are sent when you have used 75%, 90%, and 100% of the free usage included with your personal account. To do this, clear the **Included resources alerts** checkbox.
![Screenshot of the "Email alerts" settings. The options "Included resources alerts" and "Spending limit alerts" are both selected.](/assets/images/help/codespaces/codespaces-spending-limit-notifications.png)
