Monthly Spending Limit

:rocket: Feature Request

A monthly spending limit feature for the API keys

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Problem Statement

Currently the only options for spending are to prepurchase tokens, or enable auto tops ups. There is no limit to the topups so spending is unlimited with that turned on.

:light_bulb: Proposed Solution

Either have a setting for the max number of top ups in a month or max dollars spent for the month. After reaching this value the system doesnโ€™t auto reload.

:pushpin: API Impact

  • Which API component is affected? Billing
  • Is this related to a specific model? No
  • Would this require new API parameters or changes to existing ones? New

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Alternatives Considered

The workaround is to buy a lot of tokens up front but that is not economical if you donโ€™t know in advance how much you may spend in the coming month.
