# Vercel CLI adds Spend Management

By Steven Van · 2026-10-23

Pro and Flexible Commitment Enterprise teams can set, pause on, and review spend budgets with vercel budgets, from version 59.23.0.

Team [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) Owners and Billing users can now view and manage the Spend Management budget from the CLI, using the [new vercel budgets command](<https://vercel.com/docs/spend-management>). It is available in vercel@59.23.0 and later. Running it returns the team's current spend and the active budget, which also makes it usable from scripts and agents.

## View, set, and remove a budget

The budget is the same On-Demand Budget shown in the team's billing settings. Three commands cover it:

- vercel budgets shows current spend and the active budget.

- vercel budgets set --amount 200 --pause --webhook https://example.com/spend creates or updates the budget.

- vercel budgets remove --yes removes it.

Setting a budget does not stop usage on its own. The --pause flag pauses production deployments of all projects when spend reaches 100%, and while paused, visitors see a 503 DEPLOYMENT\_PAUSED error. The --webhook flag triggers an HTTPS POST at spend thresholds. Pausing is not instant, because Vercel checks spend every few minutes.

## Budget alert history

Run vercel budgets alerts for the full alert log, filtered with --since, --until, --limit, and --json. A bare vercel budgets prints the three most recent alerts. Each entry lists the date, threshold, amount spent, budget amount, and configured actions.

## Availability

Managing budgets requires the Owner or Billing role. Spend Management is available at no additional cost to **Pro** teams and to **Enterprise** teams on the Flexible Commitment plan. The full reference is in the vercel budgets CLI docs.
