Cannot create budget when deploying account settings

[jochem725]

When running step 7 of deploying the core accounts the workflow

atmos workflow deploy/account-settings -f quickstart/foundation/accounts 

Fails with the following error

│ Error: creating Budget (xxx-core-gbl-artifacts-1000-total-monthly): operation error Budgets: CreateBudget, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: xxx, AccessDeniedException: Account xxx is a linked account. To enable budgets for your account, ask the payer account to enable budgets first.

However I can't find a setting I can enable on the payer (root?) account to enable budgets. What can I do to remedy this?

This issue resolved itself after we opened the cost explorer on the root account and waiting until it was ready 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing the resolution! We’ll update the docs to include this step so it’s clearer for others going through the process.
