Why do teams end up with surprise cloud bills even when they have budgets set up?

Answer

Because without cost allocation tags, you can see total spend but not who or what is driving it. Tags let you break costs down by team, project, environment, or service -- so you can answer 'why did our bill jump 40%?' in minutes instead of days.
