Set per-user budgets on AI Gateway
You can now use AI Gateway budgets to set a dollar spending limit for each user on your team.
Vercel's AI Gateway now lets team owners set a dollar spending limit for each individual user, covering every API key and app token attributed to that person. Once someone hits their limit, the gateway rejects new requests until it resets or is raised, which helps rein in coding agents and other unsupervised workloads without capping the whole team's shared budget. Details are in Vercel's changelog.
Budgets are set from the Users view on the Budgets page, or from the CLI (Vercel CLI 59.6.2 or newer):
- A default budget applies separately to every user without a custom one, including anyone added later.
- A custom budget overrides the default for one person; removing it reverts them to the default.
Both types reset monthly by default but can be changed to reset daily, weekly, or never, and support email alerts at 50%, 75%, and 100% of the allowance. User budgets don't replace API key, project, or team budgets: a request must stay within every limit that applies to it. API keys are attributed to their creator by default, so shared or production keys need to be reattributed to the team from the API Keys page to keep their spend out of that person's budget. Spend from Bring Your Own Key credentials doesn't count toward user budgets.
