Billing groups

Overview

Billing groups enable workspace admins to set usage limits for specific groups of users within a workspace. This feature helps organizations control costs and manage consumption by allocating specific credit quotas to different teams or departments.

With billing groups, you can:

• Set usage limits – Define credit quotas for specific groups of users.
• Control costs – Prevent overspending by limiting usage for specific teams.
• Track consumption – Monitor usage patterns across different groups in your workspace.
• Manage access – Automatically restrict requests when a group reaches its limit.

How it works

Billing groups create a usage limit for a subset of users within your workspace. Once configured, all usage by members of a billing group counts toward that group’s allocated limit.

• Single group membership – Each user can only be in one billing group at a time.
• Aggregated usage – All usage by a user counts toward their billing group’s limit.
• Automatic enforcement – After hitting the usage limit, requests from any member of the group are rejected until the next subscription cycle reset.
• Subscription cycle reset – Limits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle, aligned with your workspace’s subscription.

Create and manage billing groups

Workspace admins can create and manage billing groups from Workspace settings > Groups.

Create a new billing group

Adjust limits

Workspace admins can modify the usage limit for a billing group at any time. Changes take effect immediately, but the limit will still reset at the next subscription cycle.

When a billing group reaches its usage limit:

1. All requests made by any member of the group are rejected.
2. Users receive an error indicating the group has exceeded its quota.
3. The restriction remains in place until the next subscription cycle reset.
4. Other billing groups and unassigned users are not affected.
5. Workspace admins can update the usage limit for the group from Workspace settings > Groups > Manage Usage Limit.

Track usage

Workspace admins can monitor and adjust billing group usage from Workspace settings > Groups. Click the dollar button to view current usage for each group, and to update usage limits.

Individual users can view their own usage details from their account Settings > Usage & Credit Ceilings.

Manage billing group members

Workspace admins can manage groups for individual workspace members from Workspace settings > Members. Click the dollar button to view which group the member is part of. If they are not part of a billing group, this button will appear yellow - click it to allocate the user to an existing billing group.

You can also add or remove members from a billing group from Workspace settings > Groups > Manage Group.

When a user is added to a billing group, their usage immediately starts counting toward that group’s limit. When removed, their usage will count toward the workspace’s overall quota or another billing group if reassigned.
