# Approve Spend Limit Increase Request

`$client->beta->organization->spendLimits->increaseRequests->approve(string spendLimitIncreaseRequestID, string amount, ?SpendLimitPeriod period, ?bool suppressNotification): IncreaseRequestApproveResponse`

**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

- `spendLimitIncreaseRequestID: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the spend limit increase request.

- `amount: string`

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

- `period?:optional SpendLimitPeriod`

- `suppressNotification?:optional bool`

## Returns

- `class IncreaseRequestApproveResponse`

  - `"spend_limit_increase_request" type`

  - `string id`

  - `Actor actor`

  - `\Datetime createdAt`

  - `SpendLimitPeriod period`

  - `?\Datetime resolvedAt`

  - `?ResolvedBy resolvedBy`

  - `SpendLimit spendLimit`

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

  - `?SpendSummary spendSummary`

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

  - `BetaSpendLimitIncreaseRequestStatus status`

## Example

```php
<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Anthropic\Client;
use Anthropic\Beta\Organization\SpendLimits\SpendLimitPeriod;

$client = new Client(apiKey: 'my-anthropic-api-key');

$response = $client->beta->organization->spendLimits->increaseRequests->approve(
  'spend_limit_increase_request_id',
  amount: '50000',
