# Deny Spend Limit Increase Request

`beta.organization.spend_limits.increase_requests.deny(spend_limit_increase_request_id, **kwargs) -> BetaSpendLimitIncreaseRequest`

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

Deny a pending spend limit increase request.

Idempotent on `denied`; denying an already-`approved` request returns
400. Anthropic emails the requester unless `suppress_notification` is set.

## Parameters

- `spend_limit_increase_request_id: String` (path parameter)

  ID of the spend limit increase request.

- `suppress_notification: bool`

## Returns

- `class BetaSpendLimitIncreaseRequest`

  - `type: :spend_limit_increase_request`

  - `id: String`

  - `actor: BetaSpendLimitUserActor | BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

    - `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.

      - `type: :user_actor`

        Actor type. Always `user_actor`.

      - `deleted: bool`

        True only when the underlying account has been deleted.

      - `email_address: String`

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

      - `name: String`

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

      - `user_id: String`

        Tagged ID of the user.

    - `class BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

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

      - `type: :scoped_api_key_actor`

      - `scoped_api_key_id: String`

  - `created_at: Time`

    format: date-time

  - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod`

    - `:daily`

    - `:monthly`

    - `:weekly`

  - `resolved_at: Time`

    format: date-time

  - `resolved_by: BetaSpendLimitUserActor | BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

    - `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.

  - `spend_summary: BetaSpendSummary`

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

    - `actor: BetaSpendLimitUserActor | BetaSpendLimitScopedAPIKeyActor`

      - `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.

    - `amount: String`

      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.

    - `currency: String`

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

    - `period: BetaSpendLimitPeriod`

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

    - `period_to_date_spend: String`

      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.

    - `scope: BetaSpendLimitUserScope | BetaSpendLimitSeatTierScope | BetaSpendLimitRBACGroupScope | 4 more`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitUserScope`

        Scope selecting a single member of the organization.

        - `type: :organization_service`

        - `service: String`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitOrganizationScope`

        - `type: :organization`

      - `class BetaSpendLimitWorkspaceScope`

        Scope selecting one workspace of a Claude Console organization.

        - `type: :workspace`

        - `workspace_id: String`

          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.

        - `type: :usage_tier`

          Scope type. Always `usage_tier` for this scope.

        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.
