A budget caps what you spend on overages each billing month. You choose the amount, and whether you want email alerts and a pause on content editing when you reach it.
Only the Space Owner can set or change a budget.
Overages and prepay will take effect for all customers starting on December 1, 2026. Learn more on our blog.
Budgets aren't available on trials.
What a budget covers
Your budget applies to usage beyond what's included and prepaid in your plan: extra consumers, storage, direct link requests and direct link bandwidth. It doesn't include your editor seats or prepaid usage.
Usage above your budget isn't billed.
Setting a budget
Go to your Space settings
Select Billing
In the Budget card, click Setup (or Edit if you already have one)
Enter an amount. A budget must be at least $3.00. Enter $0 to allow no overages at all.
Choose your options:
Alerts - Send emails when usage reaches 75%, 90% and 100% of the budget amount
Minimize spending - Disable content editing for admins to keep spend within budget. View access is unaffected.
Save
To remove a budget, clear the amount.
The budget modal shows your overage charges for last month and your recent average to help you pick a number.
What happens when you reach your budget
If Minimize spending is on, content management is paused until your next billing month starts or you raise your budget. This includes:
Uploading, editing and replacing assets
Creating or duplicating Kits and Portals
Managing products, product types, markets and channels
Editing tags
Still available:
Viewing and downloading content
Deleting content
Portals, Kits and direct links keep working for the people who use them
The Owner is emailed, and other team members see a message that editing is paused because the Space reached its budget.
If Minimize spending is off, nothing is paused, but the amount billed is still limited to your budget.
Getting back to work
Go to your Space settings
Select Billing
Click Increase budget
Editing resumes shortly after you raise the budget, or when your next billing month starts.
Pausing can lag slightly behind actual usage because direct link usage is updated once a day.
