Set a spend limit

You can set usage limits so your workspace stops accepting new conversations once a cap is reached. This keeps spending predictable without you having to watch the balance.

Dash tracks credit consumption in real time and compares it against your limits. When a limit is reached:

  • New conversations and scheduled task runs are refused until the limit resets.
  • Existing conversations that are mid-turn will finish, but no new turns start.
  • Dash tells the user that the workspace has hit its limit and suggests contacting an admin.

From Slack or Teams:

@Dash set the spend limit to $100

@Dash what’s the current spend limit?

From the web dashboard:

Go to app.dashpup.ai, open the Wallet page, and scroll to Usage limits. Set your cap and save.

Only admins can set or change limits.

From Slack or Teams:

@Dash how much have we spent this month?

@Dash what’s our credit balance?

Dash will report the current balance, usage for the period, and how much is remaining.

From the web dashboard:

The Usage page shows sessions, messages, and credit consumption for the current period and all time. The Wallet page shows your credit balance and transaction history.

  • Interactive conversations (Slack, Teams, web, Chrome extension) — billed.
  • Scheduled task runs — billed.
  • Heartbeat suggestions — not billed. These run on Dash’s cost, not yours.
  • Org chart inference — not billed.
  • Memory moderation — not billed.
  • Switch to a lighter model for routine work. See Choose your AI model.
  • Lower thinking effort for simple lookups. Higher effort costs more credits.
  • Consolidate asks. One detailed message is cheaper than five follow-ups in the same thread.
  • Review scheduled tasks. A task running every hour costs more than one running daily.
  • Set up auto-recharge if you’d rather top up automatically than hit a hard stop. See Understand credits and billing.
