Spending limits restrict model calls, agent runs, or workspace consumption. They are governance guardrails, not pricing-plan documentation.

Before Configuration

  • Identify which workloads must continue and which can be blocked.
  • Set initial thresholds from historical usage instead of a single global number.
  • Define alert recipients and emergency handling.

Verification

  • Test trigger behavior with a low threshold.
  • Confirm the user-facing message is clear when a limit is reached.
  • Confirm limit events can be found in tracing or query history.
