Budgets and alerts

The Budgets and alerts page lets you set credit usage thresholds so you’re notified before you approach or exceed your allowance. Only Billing admins and Super admins can configure a budget. To open it:

1. In your hub account, click your profile in the bottom-left corner.
2. Click Budgets and alerts.

The page has two tabs: Global and Project.

​

Global budget

The global budget tracks total credit consumption across every project in your account. It’s scoped to your current contract period—the thresholds you set apply from your contract start date to your contract end date, and reset when your contract renews. At the top of the Global tab, you can see your Credit allowance, Contract start, and Contract end dates, which are read-only values pulled from your contract.

​

Thresholds

You can set up to two percentage-based thresholds on your global credit allowance. When your consumption reaches a threshold, sends a notification to alert you.

• Threshold 1: The first warning point.
• Threshold 2: The second warning point, intended for a higher level of urgency.

​

Set global budget thresholds

1. Click … in the top-right corner.
2. Click the edit thresholds option.
3. Enter a whole number between 1 and 100 in the Threshold 1 and Threshold 2 fields. The value represents the percentage of your total credit allowance at which you want to be notified.
4. Click Save.

Project-level budgets

A project budget lets you set a credit limit for one or more individual projects, with threshold notifications when consumption approaches that limit. The Project tab shows a table of all existing project budgets, with each row displaying the project name, its credit budget, and the two configured thresholds. You can sort the table by Project(s) or Budget, and use the search bar to filter by project name.

​

Add a project budget

1. Click Add project budget in the top-right corner of the Project tab.
2. In the Add project budget dialog, click the Projects drop-down and select one or more projects. Select Select All to apply the budget to every project in your account.
3. In the Budget field, enter the credit limit for the selected projects.
4. In the Threshold 1 and Threshold 2 fields, enter a whole number between 1 and 100. Each value represents the percentage of the project budget at which you want to be notified. For example, entering 70 triggers a notification when 70% of the project budget has been consumed.
5. Click Add.

​

Edit a project budget

1. In the project budget table, click … at the end of the row you want to update.
2. Click Edit.
3. In the Edit project budget dialog, update the Budget, Threshold 1, or Threshold 2 values as needed. The Projects field is locked and can’t be changed once a budget has been created.
4. Click Update.

Billing notifications

When your credit consumption crosses a threshold—whether global or project-level— sends a billing notification. You choose how you want to receive it—by email, Slack, or webhook—from the Notifications page. To manage billing notifications, click Manage notifications in the top-right corner of the Credit management & budget controls page. This takes you to the Billing tab of the Notifications page, where you can view all billing notifications across your global and project budgets, and add or edit your delivery channels. Recipients aren’t configured here. Each user sets up their own delivery channels on the Billing tab to receive the notifications they want. You can work in either direction: set a budget and thresholds here first, then add delivery channels on the Billing tab—or add a billing notification with delivery channels first, then set its budget and thresholds here. For full details, read Billing notifications.
