How to use Tariru: grammar notes
•足りる usually uses the particle が to mark the thing that is (or isn’t) enough — for example, お金が足りません (I don’t have enough money).
•Don’t use を with 足りる — since 足りる is about something “being enough,” not “doing” something to an object, を is incorrect here.
•You can use 足りない (the negative form) to say something isn’t enough — for example, 時間が足りない means “I don’t have enough time.”
