Monitoring your AI cost

On the Plan & Billing page of Account Settings, the AI Usage section tracks your AI usage costs.

AI Usage chart to track AI usage costs for the current billing cycle

For each day when there was AI usage, the chart shows the usage.

Filtering the chart

To filter the chart:

1. From the User dropdown list, select the user to display the usage for.
2. From the Period dropdown list, select the time period to display the usage for.

Selecting the metric to display

From the Metric dropdown list, select whether to display:

• The dollar amount for the AI usage.
• The number of tokens used.

Subdividing individual entries by model or user

You can subdivide individual entries to show either:

• The amount used by each user.
• The amount used by specific AI models.

From the Split by dropdown list:

• To identify the specific users, select User.
• To identify the specific models, select Model.

Fabricate updates the entries to indicate the usage for the individual users or models.

Configuring the default per-user AI usage limit

On the Plan & Billing page of Account Settings, in the AI Spend Limits section, you configure the default AI usage limit for individual users.

AI Spend limits to limit each user's AI usage for a specific period of time

1. In the Per-User Limit field, specify the maximum dollar amount of AI usage for an individual user.
2. From the Per-User Limit Period dropdown list, select the time period for use the limit applies. You can have the limit apply per day, every 7 days, every 30 days, or every 90 days. For example, if you set the limit to $5 and the time period to 30 days, then each user by default can use up to five dollars' worth of AI usage every 30 days.
3. Click Save Changes.
4. If there are users that have a custom limit, then select whether to keep those overrides:

   • To preserve overrides for individual users, click Keep per-user limits.
   • To apply the new limit to all users, and remove the current individual overrides, click Override per-user limits.

   After you select the option, click Save.

Tracking and limiting AI usage for specific users

On the Users page of Account Settings, the information for each user includes:

• The amount of AI usage for that user.
• The current AI usage limit for that user.

Users list for an account

From the Users list, you can override the default limit for individual users. For example, you might have a user who is more of a power user and needs a higher limit.

To change the limit for an individual user:

1. In the AI Spend Limit column for the user, click the edit icon.
2. On the Edit AI Spend Limit panel, either:

   • In the AI Spend Limit field, provide a specific value for the user.
   • To reset the user to use the default limit, click Reset to default.
3. Click Save.

Configuring the maximum AI usage overage (Plus plan)

For the Plus plan, which does not support multiple users, instead of setting a limit per user, you set a maximum amount of AI usage overage for each billing cycle.

You set the limit from the Plan & Billing page of Account Settings, in the AI Spend Limits section.

In the Overage Limit field, provide the maximum overage per billing cycle. If the field is empty, then there is no limit on the AI usage overage.

When the usage cost reaches the total of your allowance plus the maximum overage, AI features are paused until the next billing cycle.

For example, your account is billed each month for the AI overage above the allowance that you receive. Your allowance is $25 for each month. The overage is set to $500. Assuming you use the $500 overage limit, your account:

• Can use up to $525 in total AI usage cost each month. After that, AI features are paused until the next billing cycle.
• Can be billed for up to $500 for overage each month.
