Brakes not breaks

I thought both were correct but the single L more common in US english and the double in english english.

I have read documents from both sources with each spelling so guessed it was interchangeable. Happy to bow to someone more knowledgeable, or is that knowledgeablle?

Problem is many word processors and forums default to US English spell check, notably the use of Z instead of S, (as in criticising comes up as an error and suggests criticizing).
This can lead to thinking the US spelling is correct.
