Set Spend Limit

BetaSpendLimit beta().organization().spendLimits().set(params, requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())
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
SpendLimitSetParams params
Optional<List<AnthropicBeta>> betas⁠Header parameter

Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

Optional<String> amount

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 { type = "user"; userId; }

Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

JsonValue type = "user"

Scope type. Always user for this scope.

String userId

Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to.

class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope { type = "organization"; }
JsonValue type = "organization"
class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope { type = "workspace"; workspaceId; }

Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

JsonValue type = "workspace"

Scope type. Always workspace for this scope.

String workspaceId

Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to.

Optional<BetaSpendLimitPeriod> period
Returns
class BetaSpendLimit { type = "spend_limit"; id; amount; /* 6 more */ }

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