Today AWS announced custom time periods for AWS Budgets, a new capability that lets you create budgets with flexible start and end dates. This enhancement allows you to define budget periods that align with your organization’s specific needs, moving beyond traditional calendar-based periods like monthly, quarterly, or annual budgets.
Custom time periods help you accurately monitor costs for projects with specific duration and funding limits. For example, if you have a three-month development project starting mid-month, you can create a single budget for that exact time frame and receive alerts when spending approaches your thresholds. This eliminates the need to calculate and split your project budget across multiple calendar months or maintain separate spreadsheets to track time-bound initiatives.
Custom time periods in AWS Budgets is available today in all AWS commercial Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
To learn more about custom time periods in AWS Budgets, see Managing your costs with AWS Budgets in the AWS Billing User Guide.
