Overview

What it is.

Your plan carries a monthly AI token allowance — 500,000 on Starter, 2.5 million on Pro, 7 million on Business, 50 million on Enterprise. Usage counts input, output and cache-creation tokens in full and cache reads at a tenth, so caching genuinely stretches the allowance. Cross 80% and owners and admins get an email and an in-app notification, once per calendar month rather than every day. Reach 100% and further AI calls are refused with a clear payment-required response until the month rolls over or the allowance is raised.

Two corrections to what this page used to say. The allowance is a token quota, not a rupee ceiling — a daily spend cap is a separate, optional setting an admin can add in AI Administration, and the platform's own daily rupee cap applies to trial accounts with no plan, as runaway-spend protection. And there is no overage mode: 100% is a stop, not a meter.

How it works

Three steps.
End to end.

01
1. The allowance comes with the plan

Nothing to configure. Per-organisation increases are possible by arrangement.

02
2. Warning at 80%

Email and in-app to owners and admins, once per calendar month.

03
3. Hard stop at 100%

Further AI calls are refused with a payment-required response naming the quota, until the month resets.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Can I set my own rupee ceiling?

Yes, since October 2026. An admin can set a daily AI spend cap in AI Administration; once today's spend reaches it, further AI calls are refused until the next day (UTC). Speech transcription is a separate path and is not covered by the cap. See AI Administration.

Is there an overage mode?

No. At 100% the answer is a stop. There is no pay-past-the-cap setting.

Do warnings go to Slack?

No — email and in-app only. Nothing in the product posts to Slack.
