# Deny Spend Limit Increase Request

`$client->organization->spendLimits->increaseRequests->deny(string spendLimitIncreaseRequestID, ?bool suppressNotification): SpendLimitIncreaseRequest`

**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

- `spendLimitIncreaseRequestID: string` (path parameter)

  ID of the spend limit increase request.

- `suppressNotification?: optional bool`

## Returns

- `class SpendLimitIncreaseRequest`

  - `"spend_limit_increase_request" type`

  - `string id`

  - `SpendLimitIncreaseRequestActor actor`

    Who submitted the increase request.

  - `\Datetime createdAt`

  - `SpendLimitPeriod period`

  - `?\Datetime resolvedAt`

  - `?SpendLimitIncreaseRequestResolvedBy resolvedBy`

    Who approved or denied the increase request.

  - `?SpendSummary spendSummary`

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

  - `SpendLimitIncreaseRequestStatus status`

## Example

```php
<?php

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

use Anthropic\Client;

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

$spendLimitIncreaseRequest = $client
  ->organization
  ->spendLimits
  ->increaseRequests
  ->deny('spend_limit_increase_request_id', suppressNotification: true);

var_dump($spendLimitIncreaseRequest);
```
