# Get Spend Limit

**GET** `/v1/organizations/spend_limits/{spend_limit_id}`

Retrieve a spend limit by ID.

## Path parameters

- `spend_limit_id: string`

  ID of the Spend Limit.

## Returns

- `BetaSpendLimit object`

  A configured spend limit: a cap on metered spend for one scope and period.

  - `type: "spend_limit"`

    Object type. Always `spend_limit`.

    default: spend_limit

  - `id: string`

    Unique tagged ID of the spend limit (`spl_...`).

  - `amount: string or null`

    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: string`

    RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was created.

    format: date-time

  - `currency: string`

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

  - `is_enabled: boolean`

    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: BetaSpendLimitUserScope or BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope or BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope or 3 more`

    What the limit applies to. A tagged union on `type`; each variant carries the identifier for its scope.

    - `BetaSpendLimitUserScope object`

      Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

      - `type: "user"`

        Scope type. Always `user` for this scope.

        default: user

      - `user_id: string`

        Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to.

    - `BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope object`

      - `type: "seat_tier"`

        default: seat_tier

      - `seat_tier: string`

    - `BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope object`

      - `type: "rbac_group"`

        default: rbac_group

      - `rbac_group_id: string`

    - `BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope object`

      - `type: "organization_service"`

        default: organization_service

      - `service: string`

    - `BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope object`

      - `type: "organization"`

        default: organization

    - `BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope object`

      Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

      - `type: "workspace"`

        Scope type. Always `workspace` for this scope.

      - `workspace_id: string`

        Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to.
