Usage Limits

Open Billing, select Overview, and click Usage limits to see and limit how many credits your organization uses each month. Only administrators can change the limit and alerts.

Choose a Limit

1. Click Edit usage limit.
2. Turn on Set a monthly usage limit and enter the Monthly limit (credits) in whole credits. Leave it off for no limit.
3. Optionally turn on Enforce a hard limit.
4. Click Save.

Setting	Behavior
Limit off	No monthly usage limit. You still need available credits.
Limit on, hard limit not enforced	Track usage against the limit and email alerts without stopping commands.
Limit on, Enforce a hard limit on	Block new commands that would exceed the limit.

The usage limits page shows Hard limit enforced or Limit not enforced for the current setting. Usage resets each billing month, on the same day as your signup date.

A hard limit also counts credits held by commands that are still running. Lowering the limit doesn't stop commands already running, but it can stop new ones from starting. Even without a hard limit, you can't spend more than your available credits.

Usage Alerts

1. Click Add alert.
2. Enter a whole Usage threshold (%) from 1 to 100.
3. Click Save.

You can edit or delete alerts. Each percentage can be used once, and you can add up to 20 alerts. When usage reaches an alert's percentage of your monthly limit, administrators get an email. Credits held by running commands don't count until they are spent.

If you add an alert that your usage has already reached, or lower your limit, the email can go out right away. Turning the limit off keeps your alerts but pauses them until you set a limit again.
