What Are Spend Limits?
Spend limits let you set a maximum dollar amount for extra usage beyond your plan's included credits each month. They help you control costs and prevent unexpected billing overages.
Important: Spend limits only apply to usage beyond your included plan credits. For example, if your Enterprise plan includes 200,000 credits, usage within those credits is covered by your subscription — the spend limit only kicks in for pay-as-you-go overage beyond that.
How It Works
Default behavior: When you use up your included plan credits and no spend limit is set, AI features are automatically blocked. You must set a spend limit to opt-in to pay-as-you-go overage billing.
When a limit is set: You can continue using AI beyond your included credits up to your spend limit amount. Once your extra spending reaches 100% of the limit, AI features will be blocked until the next billing cycle.
Automatic reset: Your spend tracking resets to $0 automatically on your billing cycle date each month.
Change anytime: You can increase, decrease, or remove your spend limit at any time.
Setting a Spend Limit
For Organizations (Enterprise Plans)
Go to your Organization Admin panel
Click Spend Limits in the sidebar
Click Set Limit (or Change Limit if one is already set)
Enter your desired monthly limit in dollars
Click Save
The organization spend limit applies to all workspaces within your organization. Usage across all child workspaces counts toward the organization's limit.
For Standalone Workspaces
Go to your Workspace Settings
Click Spend Limits in the sidebar
Click Set Limit (or Change Limit if one is already set)
Enter your desired monthly limit in dollars
Click Save
Maximum Spend Limits by Plan
Plan | Maximum Spend Limit |
Individual | $100/month |
Starter | $500/month |
Professional | $1,000/month |
Enterprise | $2,000/month |
The minimum spend limit is $1.
Email Notifications
You can set up custom spending thresholds to get notified before you hit your limit. This gives you time to adjust usage or increase your limit.
How to Add a Notification Threshold
On the Spend Limits page, find the Email Notifications section
Click + Add
Enter the dollar amount at which you want to be notified (e.g., $300)
Click Add
You can set multiple thresholds. For example, set alerts at $300, $400, and $500 to get progressive warnings as spending increases.
Maximum notification thresholds by plan:
Individual: 3 thresholds
Starter: 5 thresholds
Professional: 10 thresholds
Enterprise: 20 thresholds
All workspace owners and admins receive notification emails. Notifications are sent once per threshold per billing cycle — you won't get repeat emails for the same threshold.
Enterprise Organizations: How Spend Limits Apply
For enterprise organizations with multiple workspaces:
The organization-level spend limit applies across all child workspaces combined
Usage from every workspace counts toward the organization's total spend
When the organization's limit is reached, AI features are blocked across all workspaces
Only the organization owner can set the organization spend limit
What Happens When You Hit the Limit
When your spending reaches 100% of your limit:
AI chat features will be temporarily blocked
You'll see a message showing your current spend, your limit, and the date it resets
You can increase your limit immediately to continue using AI
Or wait for the automatic reset on your next billing cycle date
Removing a Spend Limit
To remove your spend limit entirely:
Go to the Spend Limits page
Click the trash icon next to the Monthly Limit
Confirm the removal
Note: Removing the spend limit means AI will be blocked when you exceed your included plan credits, since there is no overage budget set. To allow overage usage, you need an active spend limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the spend limit apply to my included plan credits?
No. Your included credits (e.g., 200,000 for Enterprise) are covered by your subscription. The spend limit only controls extra pay-as-you-go usage beyond those credits.
When does my spend limit reset?
Your spend tracking resets automatically on your billing cycle date. You can see the exact reset date on the Spend Limits page.
Who can set spend limits?
For organizations: only the owner. For standalone workspaces: owners and admins.
Can I change my spend limit mid-month?
Yes, you can increase, decrease, or remove your limit at any time. Changes take effect immediately.
Where can I see my current spend?
The Spend Limits page shows your current spend amount, the percentage used, and a progress bar. You can also check the Usage page for a detailed breakdown of credits used, input/output tokens, and per-user usage.
