Cost Management shows what each developer has spent this month, what happened when they met their spending limits, and lets you raise one developer’s limit without changing the policy that covers everyone else.

What’s on the page

Three tabs, with the current month shown in the header.

Usage

Totals for the month — Total Estimated Cost, Total Requests and Total Tokens — above a table of developers. Where an exemption applies, the Monthly limit and Rate Limit cells carry an Exempt or Extended badge.

Rate Limit Hits

Before anyone has been blocked it reads No Spend Limit Events Yet.

Cost Exemptions

Before any exemption has been granted it reads No Cost Exemptions Yet.

Filters and controls

A filter menu in the header narrows every tab by user, and the Usage tab by tool type as well, with active selections shown as chips. Usage and Cost Exemptions each have their own search by name or email, and Cost Exemptions filters by status.

What you can do

Exemption panel

Granting is an increase, not a suspension: the panel raises this developer’s numbers above what their cost policy sets. A developer who is fully exempt is told so, and saving replaces that with the bounded limits you enter.

When an exemption stops applying

An exemption set to expire at 17:00 can still let a request through at 17:05. The Status column flips to Expired on the date regardless. Where you need the limit back at a precise moment, revoke rather than wait for the expiry.
Changing a spend limit’s Window resets the open window. Editing the window on a cost policy — say from 6 hours to 24 — discards whatever spend the affected developers had accrued in the window that was already running. Within about fifteen minutes of the edit they are back at zero, so someone who was two-thirds of the way through their cap has the whole cap again. Changing only the amount leaves the accrued spend alone. Widen a window at the start of a billing period rather than to unblock someone mid-window; for one person, grant an exemption instead.
Resumes At answers “when can I work again”, so it is the column to quote to a developer who has reached a limit.
