A billing observation can propose a review alert only. It cannot send a message, raise a limit, authorize a wallet, recharge an account, or settle an invoice. A real charge remains unverified until current official provider evidence matches the exact intended account.
One demo invoice is above its owner-authorized ceiling
It remains under review. The system will not silently settle the discrepancy or raise the budget.
