Monthly Limit (Budget)

Each organization has a monthly spending limit (budget). This is the maximum amount that you can spend on API usage in a calendar month. When your spending reaches the budget limit, Prem API blocks API requests until:
  • The next billing period starts (the 1st of the next month), or
  • You increase the limit in the dashboard
Your monthly spending (period_spent) goes to zero automatically on the 1st of each month.

​
Reasons to change your limit

  • Cost protection: prevent unexpected charges from scripts that do not stop or from integrations with an incorrect configuration
  • Team budget control: keep the spending in the budget of your organization
  • Scale up: increase the limit when your usage grows

​
Default limits by tier

Each usage tier has a default monthly budget limit:
You can change your monthly limit at any time in the dashboard. An increase of the limit is effective immediately.
