Set Spend Limit

$client->beta->organization->spendLimits->set(?string amount, Scope scope, ?SpendLimitPeriod period, ?list<AnthropicBeta> betas): SpendLimit
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
amount: string

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.

period?:optional SpendLimitPeriod
betas?:optional list<AnthropicBeta>⁠Header parameter

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

Returns
class SpendLimit { $type = 'spend_limit'; $id; $amount; /* 6 more */ }
"spend_limit" type

Object type. Always spend_limit.

string id

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

?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.

\Datetime createdAt

RFC 3339 datetime at which the spend limit was created.

string currency

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

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.

SpendLimitPeriod period

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

Scope scope

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

\Datetime updatedAt

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