Error budget
An error budget is the amount of unreliability an SLO allows — the gap between your target and 100%.
If your SLO is 99.9%, your error budget is 0.1% — about 8 hours 45 minutes of downtime per year. Teams spend the budget on risky deploys and freeze changes to stabilize when it runs low.
