Rate limits set credit and token caps for the organization and its managed entities: individual **users**, **agents**, or **sub-organizations**, over a rolling window (hourly, daily, and so on). This is a finer-grained control than the sub-account credit limit in [Team Management](./team-management#sub-accounts), which caps a whole sub-account's spend for the billing cycle. Rate limits let you additionally cap a single noisy agent, a single user, or a single sub-organization, and can limit tokens as well as credits. ## Opening Rate Limits Click your avatar in the sidebar and select **Rate limits** from the account menu. Screenshot of the account dropdown menu open, showing the user's name and email at the top, then Manage Organization, Rate limits (highlighted), Account Details, and Privacy Policy, followed by an Appearance toggle and Logout. ## Overview The Rate Limits page shows a **Credits available** summary and a row of tabs that scope the view: * **Overview**: an org-wide summary. * **Sub-organizations**: rate limits scoped to individual sub-organizations. * **Agents**: rate limits scoped to individual agents. * **Users**: rate limits scoped to individual users. Select **Refresh** to reload the latest usage, or **Add limit** to create a new rate limit. Screenshot of the Rate limits page with the Add rate limit modal open, showing Scope, Entity, Window, Credit limit, and Token limit fields, a Save button, and the Sub-organizations tab visible behind the modal. ## Adding a rate limit Select **Add limit** to open the **Add rate limit** modal: | Field | What it does | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Scope | What the limit applies to: **agent**, **user**, or **sub-organization**. | | Entity | The specific agent, user, or sub-organization the limit applies to. | | Window | The rolling period the limit resets on, for example **hour** or **day**. | | Credit limit (optional) | The maximum credits the entity can consume within the window. | | Token limit (optional) | The maximum tokens the entity can consume within the window. | You must set at least one of Credit limit or Token limit. A limit of **0 is valid** and blocks all usage for that entity within the window. Once a rate limit is created, its **scope**, **entity**, and **window** are locked; to change them, delete the rate limit and create a new one. ## Viewing and managing rate limits Each tab (Sub-organizations, Agents, Users) lists its active rate limits in a table: | Column | What it shows | | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | The user, agent, or sub-organization the limit applies to. | | Window | The rolling reset period. | | Limit | The configured credit and/or token cap. | | Usage | Consumption so far against the limit for the current window, shown as a progress bar. | | Resets | Time remaining until the window resets. | | Status | Whether the limit is **Enabled** or **Disabled**. | Use the edit (pencil) icon on a row to change its credit/token limits, or the delete (trash) icon to remove the rate limit entirely. ## Next steps * [Team Management](./team-management): sub-account credit limits, member roles, and audit logs. * [Roles & Permissions](./roles-permissions): who can manage rate limits.
