You can cap your spending - at least in Azure...

docs.microsoft.com/azure/billing/b...

Now that does take your resources offline when you hit your spending cap. The other option is to use something like the Dedicated Plan, which gives you a dedicated VM.

"The spending limit is $0 and it can’t be changed." ??? then it's useless.

The benefit of the Dedicated Plan is that it allows you to pay for dedicated VMs, but still make use of the Functions development model. So, it's not just a VM that you can get from anywhere, it's a fixed cost Function execution environment.
