Cap what AOSplane bills, get alerts before you reach it, and top up credit automatically
View as Markdown

A spend limit caps what AOSplane bills for the whole organization, one project or one agent in a period: sandbox time, network egress, code review and product manager chat. Model usage on your own AI accounts isn’t included, as it’s capped per session instead. Automatic recharge buys credit for you when your balance runs low.

Owners, Admins and Billing members create and change spend limits. Engineers see the project and agent limits that can block their sessions, read-only. Only the owner sets up automatic recharge.

Create a spend limit

1

Open Spend controls

Choose Billing, then the Spend controls tab, and choose New limit.

2

Choose what it covers

Under Applies to, choose Organization, Project or Agent, then which one. Something that already has a limit can’t be picked: edit its limit instead.

3

Set the amount and period

Enter the Limit in USD and choose when it Resets: Monthly, Weekly or Daily. Periods are counted in UTC.

4

Choose your alerts

Under Alerts, keep 50%, 80% and 95%, remove any, or type another in Add %.

5

Choose what happens at the limit

Block new work (the default) refuses new sessions, follow-up prompts, resumes, Slack requests, scheduled stages, code review and PM chat. Alert only blocks nothing.

6

Save

Choose Create limit.

Keep an eye on your limits

The Spend limits list shows the organization and each project, what each has spent This period, and its State, such as Within limit or Limit reached.

The Spend controls tab, before any limit is set
  • Admins get an alert in the dashboard when spend crosses a threshold, and an email when a limit is reached.
  • Alert history lists every crossing. Choose Acknowledge to mark one as seen.
  • Select a limit to edit or delete it. Deleting stops its alerts and blocking at once. Past alerts and spend stay.

Top up credit automatically

1

Open Payment

On the Billing page, choose the Payment tab and find Automatic recharge.

2

Set the amounts

Choose Edit, enter When balance falls below, how much to Add each time, and a Monthly limit for all recharges in a calendar month (UTC). Choose Save.

3

Turn it on

Turn on the Automatic recharge switch. The card then shows what was Charged this month and the Last attempt.

Good to know

  • With Block new work, turns already running finish, so spend can end slightly over the limit.
  • A project’s limit is also bound by the organization’s limit.
  • Automatic recharge needs a card on file and isn’t available on Free. Your balance is checked about every 30 seconds.
  • Also pause running sessions at turn end shows in the form but isn’t available yet.
