Each movement is attributed by the organisation's ownership rules (cloudledger rule): a tag, a linked account or a name pattern. What none of them claims is unowned, and that is the finding. The costed actions are not built yet.

Monthly report

Cloud spend in September 2026 was 21 880, 0.5% below the monthly budget of 22 000.

Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.

Compute Engine n2-standard-8 took 690 off the bill: idle notebook VMs now stopped on a schedule.

BigQuery analysis, on-demand took 380 off the bill: slot commitment bought for the reporting project.

Unowned spend is 2 410, 11% of the bill, spread across 20 resources carrying no team tag. It cannot be attributed to anyone, and it will appear in every report until the tags exist.

No forecast is made yet, so this report does not say where next month lands.

No costed actions are recorded for this account yet.
