Get a Budget by ID

Returns one Budget with its immutable scope, metric, and window, its current soft and hard thresholds, state, and version. This is configuration, not live consumption — enforcement reads the UsageLedger at each claim for an actual model execution.

Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: governance-registry. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
