How to stop over spending in google ads?

What do you mean by excessive spending? Reduce your daily ad budget and set a specific limit instead of using automated bidding for your CPC. You will spend according to this limit, and Google will not exceed the caps you have set.
 
one thing people miss… daily budget isn’t a hard cap, google can spend up to 2x on some days. if it’s a fixed campaign, use a total campaign budget where available so you know the max from the start
 
Google can spend 2x your daily budget on any single day. It evens out over the month, capped at 30.4x. If I was you I'd set the daily at half what you can stomach.
 
Check your search terms regularly and add irrelevant terms as negative keywords. A lot of wasted spend can come from irrelevant searches.
 
Set a budget limit for the campaign and use exact-match keywords along with negative keywords to control costs. You should also set specific time limits for your ads by scheduling them to run during certain hours of the day.
 
Set a daily budget. Add spending alerts. Check your campaigns regularly. This way small overspends do not add up.
