# Deny Spend Limit Increase Request

**POST** `/v1/organizations/spend_limit_increase_requests/{spend_limit_increase_request_id}/deny`

Deny a pending spend limit increase request.

Idempotent on `denied`; denying an already-`approved` request returns
400. Anthropic emails the requester unless `suppress_notification` is set.

## Path parameters

- `spend_limit_increase_request_id: string`

  ID of the spend limit increase request.

## Body parameters

- `suppress_notification: optional boolean`

## Returns

- `BetaSpendLimitIncreaseRequest object`

  - `type: "spend_limit_increase_request"`

    default: spend_limit_increase_request

  - `id: string`

  - `actor: BetaSpendLimitUserActor or BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

    - `BetaSpendLimitUserActor object`

      A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are
      null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted;
      `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts.

      - `type: "user_actor"`

        Actor type. Always `user_actor`.

        default: user_actor

      - `deleted: boolean`

        True only when the underlying account has been deleted.

        default: false

      - `email_address: string or null`

        The user's email address. Null when the account is unavailable or has been deleted.

      - `name: string or null`

        The user's current display name. Null when the account is unavailable, has been deleted, or has no name set.

      - `user_id: string`

        Tagged ID of the user.

    - `BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor object`

      A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization.

      - `type: "scoped_api_key_actor"`

        default: scoped_api_key_actor

      - `scoped_api_key_id: string`

  - `created_at: string`

    format: date-time

  - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod`

    - `"daily"`

    - `"monthly"`

    - `"weekly"`

  - `resolved_at: string or null`

    format: date-time

  - `resolved_by: BetaSpendLimitUserActor or BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor or null`

    - `BetaSpendLimitUserActor object`

      A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are
      null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted;
      `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts.

    - `BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor object`

      A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization.

  - `spend_summary: BetaSpendSummary or null`

    Per-member effective-limit report row (`GET /spend_limits/effective`).

    - `actor: BetaSpendLimitUserActor or BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

      - `BetaSpendLimitUserActor object`

        A user within the organization. `name` and `email_address` are
        null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted;
        `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts.

      - `BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor object`

        A scoped Admin API key acting on behalf of the organization.

    - `amount: string or null`

      Effective limit amount as a non-negative integer decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD). `null` means no limit applies for this row's `period` — each period resolves independently, so another period may still cap this member.

    - `currency: string`

      ISO 4217 code of the organization's billing currency; the unit for `amount` and `period_to_date_spend`.

    - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod`

      Period this row's effective limit and spend are reported for.

    - `period_to_date_spend: string`

      The member's spend so far in the current period, as a non-negative decimal string in the minor unit of `currency` (cents for USD). May carry fractional minor units up to three decimal places (e.g. `"12050.5"`) — metered usage is not rounded to whole cents. Reads as `"0"` when the spend reading is temporarily unavailable.
