Usage Limits

Set credit spending caps and receive threshold alerts.

Set hard caps for credit consumption and alerts for administrators. Open Cost Control → Usage Limits.

Credit limits exist at three levels, and the strictest applicable one wins: an organization-wide cap, the per-account limits and alerts this page configures, and a per-agent credit guardrail set in Agent Builder. Every account also starts with a default weekly hard limit, until you replace it with your own.

Usage Limits, with configured limits and alerts.

Create usage limits

Usage limits are hard caps. Requests that would exceed a limit are rejected.

Each limit shows its period, cap, and type. For example, a Monthly limit of 80,000 Credits can be a Hard Limit. It resets on the first day of each month.

Select + Add Limit to create a limit. Use a row's menu to edit or remove it.

Add an alert

Usage alerts email every Account Admin role holder on the account once per period after usage crosses a threshold — not every administrator on the platform. Select + Add Alerts to create one.

+ Add Alerts opens the Add Alert dialog:

• Duration—required. The alert period, such as Daily
• Metric Type—required. Absolute Credits uses a credit count. Percentage of Limit uses a share of a configured limit
• Credit Limit or threshold—required. Enter a credit count for Absolute Credits. Enter a percentage for Percentage of Limit

The Add Alert dialog.

Choose **Absolute Credits** or **Percentage of Limit** as the alert metric.

How it works: The platform evaluates every usage limit before consumption. If a request exceeds any limit, the platform rejects it.
