You can't even set spending limits on Google Cloud and have to use some obscure script that deactivates billing if you want to imitate it. The whole product is incredibly buggy and complicated.
AWS has slightly improved with their "budgets" and "budget actions", but it’s far from something I’d call a "spending limit".
Yeah they had to do something so they came up with a half-solution that basically informs you with a delay, doesn't prevent any quick damage and - if you decide to use budget actions - requires you to know what is actually causing the problem. Better than nothing I guess.
I wanted to link the specific article mentioning that, but it seems like this works now :)
I haven't tried it myself, and I hope it's true (:
So, TL;DR: Azure still doesn't allow you to set spending limits on Pay-as-you-go subscriptions
