Set a daily spend cap for your agents

Set a hard dollar limit per day so your agents can never spend past a number you choose. Simple, and it works across the whole workspace.

Where it lives

The workspace-level cap lives in Settings. It is the ceiling no agent can pass, regardless of individual settings.

Set it

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Find the daily spend cap field.
  3. Enter an amount you are comfortable with.
  4. Save — it applies immediately.

How it interacts with budgets

Per-agent budgets are the fine-grained control; the daily cap is the backstop. Whichever is hit first stops the spend. The cap protects you from a misconfigured agent, not just a busy one.

Watch it

The dashboard spend tile and the Insights view break down cost per day, provider, and model, so you can see exactly what is driving the number.
