Serverless usage policies
Serverless usage policies is the current Databricks name, previously Serverless budget policies (since 2026).
Budget policies Serverless budget policies Serverless usage policies
Admin-defined tag sets applied automatically to a user's serverless compute usage, so serverless spend in notebooks, jobs and pipelines is attributed to a team or project instead of one undifferentiated bill.
- Nothing announced this name. No release note on any cloud mentions it, and the docs simply switched over at some point between March and June 2026.
- The page still lives at an address ending in /budget-policies, a phrase that now appears nowhere in its own title.
- It has carried a Public Preview banner continuously since October 2024, outlasting two of its own names without ever reaching general availability.
Limitations: Existing notebooks, jobs and pipelines are not automatically assigned a policy when their owner is granted access to one, a scheduled notebook job created from the notebook page defaults back to the first policy alphabetically, deleted policy IDs remain on assets but apply no tags, Git repo integration has no repo-configurable policy, policies do not tag classic compute, inherited tags do not show in the Jobs list UI, tag updates are not reflected in pipelines in Development mode, and pipelines triggered by jobs do not inherit the job's policy.
