Set per-user budgets on AI Gateway
You can now set individual dollar spending limits for each user on your team in AI Gateway, controlling spend from all their API keys and app tokens. When a user reaches their budget, AI Gateway rejects new requests until the budget resets or increases, helping prevent uncontrolled spending from coding agents and shared workloads.

The limit covers spend from every API key attributed to the user, along with their app tokens. After it's reached, AI Gateway rejects new requests until the budget resets or is increased.

Both default and custom budgets reset monthly by default, but you can change them to reset daily, weekly, or not at all. Budgets also support usage alerting via email to notify when you are at 50%, 75%, and/or 100% of your allocation.
User budgets don't replace API key, project, or team budgets. A request must remain within every budget that applies to it. Reaching any applicable limit blocks new requests.
API keys are attributed to the user who created them by default. If a key belongs to a production application or another shared workload, attribute it to the team from the to keep its spend out of the key creator's budget. Keys created prior to the user budget feature release were attributed to the team for backwards-compatibility, so rotate to new keys if you wish to have current usage fall under the user scope.API Keys page
