Manage User Quotas
User Quotas lets workspace admins set a monthly budget cap for each member. When a member reaches their cap, further API requests return HTTP 429 until the next billing cycle resets the counter.
Open User Quotas
- In the left sidebar under Serverless Inference, click User Quotas.

Understand the quota hierarchy
Quotas follow a three-level hierarchy:
Org quota (ceiling)
└── Workspace quota (parent)
└── User quota (per-member cap)
Every user cap must satisfy user ≤ workspace ≤ org. If no workspace quota is set, the cap defaults to the organisation limit. If no user quota is set, the member has no individual cap (only the workspace limit applies).
The This workspace quota (parent) banner at the top of the page shows the current workspace cap and whether it is set.
