Spending controls keep your agents’ costs where you expect them. Set an account-wide limit in the dashboard, and give your agent a smaller limit for a single request when you want one.

How it works

Before a paid call runs, Locus checks it against the request’s max charge and your monthly hard limit. If either check fails, the call doesn’t run. After calls are charged, auto-reload and email alerts keep your balance topped up and tell you when spending reaches the amounts you choose.

Set your account controls

1

Open Billing → Credits

Select Billing in the sidebar, then Credits.
2

Choose your controls

Turn on any of the controls below and enter the amounts you want.
A hard limit stops new calls. Work already in progress or completed can still be charged.

Limit a single request

  • Max charge: For a large batch or variable-price request, give your agent a maximum charge. Locus refuses a call that would cost more, and nothing is charged.
  • Agent keys: An agent key can carry per-call and per-run credit limits. Create one under Connect → API keys.
  • Tasks and Workflows: Each Task and Workflow run takes its own credit budget.
