Usage controls are policies on how fast credits can be consumed, separate from how many credits a company has. A policy applies to the whole company, to every user individually, or to one named user, over an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly period. Each policy has a limit and an optional warning threshold, so you can advertise a fair-use number and enforce a higher one.

Example: a 1,000-credit monthly commit, a 150-credit daily cap for the company, and a 25-credit daily limit on one power user. That user pauses at their cap, everyone else keeps working, and the commit stays intact. Warnings fire at the threshold. Usage pauses at the limit until the period resets.

Policies live on the company profile next to the credit balance, roll up per user on the Usage tab, and show in the customer portal, so your customers see the same numbers. Usage controls are in beta. Ask us to turn them on for your account.
