Month-to-date AI spend read from the billing export, a hard stop that disables paid capacity rather than emailing someone, and cloud cost in the same view.

Watch it run — AI spend, the hard stop, and the month roll-over

AI budget

No billing data connected. Spend is read from the billing export, so until that is attached there is no figure — an application-side token estimate is not the bill.

Cloud cost

Nothing read yet. This is not $0 spend.

Who this is for

A platform owner funding AI features

When it comes up

AI spend is invisible until the bill arrives, and by then a runaway job has already spent the quarter's budget.

What changes

Spend is checked hourly against the billing export, and paid capacity is disabled at the limit rather than after it.

A finance owner who has been surprised before

When it comes up

Budget alerts arrive after the money is gone, because an alert is a notification, not a control.

What changes

The limit disables the paid providers. Work continues on unpaid capacity instead of continuing to spend.

An engineer turning the guard on mid-month

When it comes up

Enabling a spend cap partway through a month that is already over budget would kill everything immediately.

What changes

There is a reporting-only window before enforcement starts, so switching it on is safe.
