I set a spending limit of £125 on my MSDN account. But as soon as it goes over the credit of £40 I get the subscription suspended. It works again when I remove the spending limit, and I get billed a few pounds, but why? I am never going to exceed it, and am nowhere near when it happens with a few days left in the month.
@RobSedgwick-6713 Sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused!
I understand your concern about subscription getting suspended before reaching the spending limit. As you have mentioned it works when removed spending and you are being charged a few pounds. This seems to be unexpected behavior that needs to be investigated further to understand that root cause of the issue. This can be better handled as a support request for billing validation. Recommend you to raise an Azure billing support ticket using this link - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request. The ticket enables you to work closely with the support engineers and get a quick resolution to your issue.
FYI: Azure Billing and Subscription Management support is included in the Basic Support Plan without any charge.

I raised a support request and was told that the spending limit was not supported in the MSDN subscription, as follows:
Please forgive me for saying no but its just the design.
I understand you want to avoid over usage on your MSDN subscription hence you can definitely set the cap back here is guidance to avoid charges https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/spending-limit
I appreciate you for understanding the design that we cant actually put a limit on limit after monetary cap is removed.
I explained only below offers types are eligible for Alert notification on usage https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/cost-mgt-alerts-monitor-usage-spending
