.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(BETA)\fR This command sets or updates the billing account associated with a
project.

Billing is enabled on a project when the project is linked to a valid, active
Cloud Billing account. The billing account accrues charges for the usage of
resources in all of the linked projects. If the project is already linked to a
billing account, this command moves the project to the billing account you
specify, updating the billing account that is linked to the project.

Note that associating a project with a closed billing account has the same
effect as disabling billing on the project: any paid resources in use by the
project are shut down, and your application stops functioning. Unless you want
to disable billing, you should always specify a valid, active Cloud Billing
account when you run this command. Learn how to confirm the status of a Cloud
Billing account at
https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how\-to/verify\-billing\-enabled#billing_account_status
