Budget Consumption Trend¶
Shows the cumulative consumption trend of a single budget in the current period, overlaid with the budget cap line (100%) and the warning threshold line (for example, 80%).
- Budget Selector: The dropdown at the top lists all active budgets, sorted by usage rate from high to low (Overspent > Warning > Normal). The budget with the highest usage rate is selected by default so that you can see the most urgent risk at a glance.
- Bottom Metric Bar: Displays three key metrics: budget cap, warning threshold, and current usage.
Note
Disabled budgets do not appear in the selector.
Budget Usage Ranking¶
Displays progress bars for all active budgets sorted by usage rate from high to low, making it easy to identify which budgets are overspent, warning, or normal.
| Status | Color | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Overspent | Red | Usage rate ≥ 100% |
| Warning | Yellow | Threshold% ≤ Usage rate < 100% |
| Normal | Green | Usage rate < Threshold% |
