# Approve Spend Limit Increase Request

`IncreaseRequestApproveResponse Beta.Organization.SpendLimits.IncreaseRequests.Approve(parameters, cancellationToken = default)`

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

Approve a pending spend limit increase request.

Writes a per-user spend limit at `amount` for the requester and
transitions the request to `approved`. `period` defaults to the period
the member was blocked on. Anthropic emails the requester unless
`suppress_notification` is set.

## Parameters

- `IncreaseRequestApproveParams parameters`

  - `required string spendLimitIncreaseRequestID` (path parameter)

    ID of the spend limit increase request.

  - `required string amount`

    New per-user spend limit as a non-negative integer decimal string (minor units).

  - `BetaSpendLimitPeriod? period`

  - `bool suppressNotification`

## Returns

- `class IncreaseRequestApproveResponse`

  - `JsonElement Type = "spend_limit_increase_request"`

  - `required string ID`

  - `required Actor Actor`

    - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor`

      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.

      - `JsonElement Type = "user_actor"`

        Actor type. Always `user_actor`.

      - `required bool Deleted`

        True only when the underlying account has been deleted.

      - `required string? EmailAddress`

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

      - `required string? Name`

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

      - `required string UserID`

        Tagged ID of the user.

    - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedApiKeyActor`

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

    - `Weekly("weekly")`

  - `required DateTimeOffset? ResolvedAt`

    format: date-time

  - `required ResolvedBy? ResolvedBy`

    - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor`

      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.

    - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedApiKeyActor`

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

  - `required BetaSpendLimit SpendLimit`

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

    - `JsonElement Type = "spend_limit"`

      Object type. Always `spend_limit`.

    - `required string ID`

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

    - `required string? Amount`

      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.

    - `required DateTimeOffset CreatedAt`

      RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was created.

      format: date-time

    - `required string Currency`

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

    - `required bool IsEnabled`

      Read-only. `false` when extra usage is switched off for this organization (`organization` limit); `amount` is kept and applies again when it's switched back on. Always `true` for other limits.

    - `required BetaSpendLimitPeriod Period`

      Length of the window the limit resets over. `amount` caps spend within each period.

    - `required 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.

        - `JsonElement Type = "user"`

          Scope type. Always `user` for this scope.

        - `required string UserID`

          Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to.

      - `class BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope`

        - `JsonElement Type = "seat_tier"`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope`

        - `JsonElement Type = "organization_service"`

        - `required string Service`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope`

        - `JsonElement Type = "organization"`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope`

        Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

        - `JsonElement Type = "workspace"`

          Scope type. Always `workspace` for this scope.

        - `required string WorkspaceID`

          Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to.

      - `class BetaSpendLimitUsageTierScope`

        Scope of the monthly spend cap Anthropic sets for a Claude Console
        organization from its usage tier, or a higher cap Anthropic granted the
        organization. Read-only; its `created_at` and `updated_at` are the
        organization's creation time, so `amount` can change while `updated_at` stays
        the same.

        - `JsonElement Type = "usage_tier"`

          Scope type. Always `usage_tier` for this scope.

    - `required DateTimeOffset UpdatedAt`

      RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was last modified.

      format: date-time

  - `required BetaSpendSummary? SpendSummary`

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

    - `required Actor Actor`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitUserActor`

        null when the underlying account is unavailable or has been deleted;
        `deleted` is true only for deleted accounts.

      - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedApiKeyActor`

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

    - `required string? Amount`

      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.

    - `required string Currency`

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

    - `required BetaSpendLimitPeriod Period`

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

    - `required string PeriodToDateSpend`

      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.

    - `required Scope Scope`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope`

        Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

      - `class BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope`

        organization. Read-only; its `created_at` and `updated_at` are the
        organization's creation time, so `amount` can change while `updated_at` stays
        the same.

    - `required Source Source`

        organization's creation time, so `amount` can change while `updated_at` stays
