Discussion on Databricks Cost Caps and Genie Pricing Update

Hi Team,
With the upcoming changes to the Databricks Genie pricing model effective July 6, we would like to explore options for implementing cost controls across the entire Databricks environment.

Our primary objective is to establish the ability to monitor and manage costs at an individual user level, including:

Defining and enforcing per-user cost caps or budget thresholds.
Tracking and reporting user-level Databricks consumption and associated costs.
Generating proactive email notifications when users approach or exceed predefined cost thresholds.
Providing centralized visibility into overall platform usage and spending trends.
Could you please advise on the available approaches, best practices, and any native Databricks capabilities or integrations that support per-user cost monitoring, budget controls, and automated alerting?

Thanks,
Santi Nath Dey
