Read the spending limit and approvals

An admin sets a monthly limit for agent spend, and the chain of people who sign larger requests. As Finance, you can read both, so you always know how close the month is to its cap.

1. Open Spending approvals

Open Workspace › Operations, then the Spending approvals tab. Spending limit next to it shows the same limit, by project.

Under Pages, choose All pages, then Spending approvals.

• 1 Limits and spend: the limit, what is used this month, and what happens at the limit.
• 2 Who signs spending: the steps a request goes through, for example a QA lead for every request, a Manager over $100 and an Admin over $1,000.
• 3 Escalation: if a step does not answer in time, the next step is asked.

2. What the limit counts

The limit counts what KaDeep bills plus what runs on your own AI provider subscription would cost at list price. Both are on Cost.

When	What happens
Under the limit	Agents work as usual. Large runs ask for approval first.
At the limit	New agent work stops. Runs that start show Stopped (budget).
A request nobody decides	It expires after 2 days

At the limit, work stops

When the month reaches the limit, testers and linguists can’t start agent work until the next month, or until an admin raises the limit. Watch Limit a month on Cost from the 20th of the month.

3. Ask for a change

You can’t change the limit or the signers. Only an admin can.

1. Note the number you want and why.
2. Send it to your admin, or ask in Ask the organization what was spent so far.
3. Requests waiting for a decision show in Home › Approvals for the people who sign.
