Set spending limits

Configure a monthly cap for the organization and per-user caps.

Configuration: Tenant Admin → Spending Limits tab.

Concepts

Three independent cap levels:

  • Organization monthly limit — cumulative cap for the whole tenant over the calendar month. Beyond this, all model calls are blocked until the first of the following month.
  • Per-user monthly limit — cap applied to each user. Beyond this, the affected user is blocked, but the rest of the tenant continues.
  • Per-user daily limit — daily cap per user. Resets each day at midnight.

A field left empty means no limit at that level.

Amounts are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Set the caps

  1. Spending Limits tab → Organization limits section.
  2. Enter a value (or leave empty) for:
  3. Organization monthly limit
  4. Per-user monthly limit
  5. Per-user daily limit
  6. Click Save in the action bar at the bottom.

Enable email alerts

If the notifications feature is enabled for your tenant, two switches let you send an automatic email to administrators when the organization's spending reaches:

  • 80% of the monthly limit
  • 100% of the monthly limit

Enable the desired switches and save.

If the alert switches do not appear, the feature is not enabled for your deployment. Contact the Forra team.

Read the current status

The main card at the top of the tab shows:

  • The current month and the amount already spent.
  • The organization limit (if set) and a progress bar.
  • The number of days until the reset on the first of next month.

If the limit is exceeded, the amount turns red and calls are blocked.

Recommendations

  • Set a generous organization limit as a final safety net against a drift (e.g., a runaway assistant loop).
  • Set a per-user monthly limit consistent with expected typical usage — for example 50 CAD/month for standard use.
  • The per-user daily limit is mainly useful for quickly detecting abnormal behavior without penalizing sustained use over several days.
