Error Budget Exhaustion Review overview
Triggers when a service's error budget drops below a defined threshold — reviewing SLI burn-rate charts, attributing budget consumption to specific incidents or deployments, evaluating whether the remaining budget is sufficient for planned releases, negotiating feature-freeze vs risk-acceptance trade-offs with product owners, and updating the error-budget policy if thresholds prove miscalibrated. Produces an error-budget status report and a release-gating decision. Excludes SLO redefinition.
