Budget Alerts

AI SpendOps lets you set spend thresholds and receive notifications when usage approaches or exceeds your budget limits.

How it works​

Budget alerts are configured in the AI SpendOps dashboard. When spend crosses a threshold, notifications are triggered.

Budget scopes​

Budgets can be set at different levels:

  • Organisation — Total spend across all API keys
  • API key — Spend for a specific key
  • Dimension — Spend for a specific team, app, or environment

Period types​

  • Monthly — Resets at the start of each calendar month
  • Daily — Resets at midnight UTC

Thresholds​

You can set multiple thresholds per budget (e.g. 50%, 80%, 100%) with different notification levels:

ThresholdAction
Warning (e.g. 80%)Notification sent
Critical (e.g. 100%)Notification sent

Budget alerts are informational — they notify but do not block requests. To enforce hard limits, use provider and model restrictions.
