NAME gcloud alpha billing projects link - link a project with a billing account SYNOPSIS gcloud alpha billing projects link PROJECT_ID (--account-id=ACCOUNT_ID | --billing-account=ACCOUNT_ID) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION (ALPHA) 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.
