# Set Spend Limit

`client.Beta.Organization.SpendLimits.Set(ctx, params) (*BetaSpendLimit, error)`

**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

- `params BetaOrganizationSpendLimitSetParams`

  - `Amount param.Opt[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 BetaOrganizationSpendLimitSetParamsScopeUnion`

    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.

    - `type BetaSpendLimitUserScope`

      Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

      - `Type User`

        Scope type. Always `user` for this scope.

        default: user

      - `UserID string`

        Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to.

    - `type BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope`

      - `Type Organization`

        default: organization

    - `type BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope`

      Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

      - `Type Workspace`

        Scope type. Always `workspace` for this scope.

        default: workspace

      - `WorkspaceID string`

        Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to.

  - `Period BetaSpendLimitPeriod Optional`

  - `Betas []AnthropicBeta Optional` (header parameter)

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

## Returns

- `type BetaSpendLimit`

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

  - `Type SpendLimit`

    Object type. Always `spend_limit`.

    default: spend_limit

  - `ID string`

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

  - `Amount string`

    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.

  - `CreatedAt Time`

    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`.

  - `IsEnabled bool`

    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.

  - `Period BetaSpendLimitPeriod`

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

    - `const BetaSpendLimitPeriodDaily BetaSpendLimitPeriod = "daily"`

    - `const BetaSpendLimitPeriodMonthly BetaSpendLimitPeriod = "monthly"`

    - `const BetaSpendLimitPeriodWeekly BetaSpendLimitPeriod = "weekly"`

  - `Scope BetaSpendLimitScopeUnion`

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

    - `type BetaSpendLimitUserScope`

      Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

      - `Type User`

        Scope type. Always `user` for this scope.

        default: user

      - `UserID string`

        Tagged ID of the member the spend limit applies to.

    - `type BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope`

      - `Type SeatTier`

        default: seat_tier

      - `SeatTier string`

    - `type BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope`

      - `Type RBACGroup`

        default: rbac_group

      - `RBACGroupID string`

    - `type BetaSpendLimitOrganizationServiceScope`

      - `Type OrganizationService`

        default: organization_service

      - `Service string`

    - `type BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope`

      - `Type Organization`

        default: organization

    - `type BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope`

      Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

      - `Type Workspace`

        Scope type. Always `workspace` for this scope.

        default: workspace

      - `WorkspaceID string`

        Tagged ID of the workspace the spend limit applies to.

    - `type 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.

      - `Type UsageTier`

        Scope type. Always `usage_tier` for this scope.

        default: usage_tier

  - `UpdatedAt Time`

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

    format: date-time
