--- title: Set Spend Limit url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/python/beta/organization/spend_limits/set --- # Set Spend Limit `beta.organization.spend_limits.set(**kwargs) -> BetaSpendLimit` **POST** `/v1/organizations/spend_limits` Set a spend limit. Upsert keyed on (scope, period): setting a limit that already exists overwrites it in place. A Claude Enterprise organization sets `user` limits. Its seat-tier, group, and organization-level defaults are configured in claude.ai. A Claude Console organization sets `organization` and `workspace` limits, which are monthly and always carry an amount. Setting those limits is in an early access preview. To request access, contact your Anthropic account team. ## Parameters - `amount: Optional[str]` Limit amount as a non-negative integer decimal string in the minor unit of the organization's billing currency (cents for USD): "50000" is $500.00. `null` sets an explicit no-limit override for this scope and `period` only — each period resolves independently, so caps for other periods still apply. - `scope: Scope` What the limit applies to. Claude Enterprise organizations set `user` limits. Claude Console organizations set `organization` and `workspace` limits. Any other combination returns 400. Setting `organization` and `workspace` limits through the API is in an early access preview. To request access, contact your Anthropic account team. - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope` Scope selecting a single member of the organization. - `type: Literal["user"]` Scope type. Always `user` for this scope. default: user - `user_id: str` Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to. - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope` - `type: Literal["organization"]` default: organization - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope` Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization. - `type: Literal["workspace"]` Scope type.

Always `spend_limit`. default: spend_limit - `id: str` Unique tagged ID of the spend limit (`spl_...`). - `amount: Optional[str]` Limit amount as a non-negative integer decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD): "50000" is $500.00. `null` means no numeric cap is configured at this scope — see the effective report for whether a limit applies. - `created_at: datetime` RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was created. format: date-time - `currency: str` ISO 4217 code of the organization's billing currency; the unit for `amount`. - `is_enabled: bool` Read-only. `false` when extra usage is switched off for this organization (`organization` limit) or for this member (`user` limit); `amount` is kept and applies again when it's switched back on. Always `true` for other limits. - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod` Length of the window the limit resets over. `amount` caps spend within each period. - `"daily"` - `"monthly"` - `"weekly"` - `scope: Scope` What the limit applies to. A tagged union on `type`; each variant carries the identifier for its scope. - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope` Scope selecting a single member of the organization. - `type: Literal["user"]` Scope type.
