Superblocks gives administrators full control over AI credit spending. From the Spend management page in your organization settings, you can set organization-wide caps, assign per-user budgets, and monitor usage, ensuring your team stays productive without unexpected costs. Spend management is available on Enterprise and Teams plans.

Credits balance

The credits balance tile shows your organization’s current usage against your contracted credit allocation at a glance:
  • Total credits used this billing cycle
  • Remaining credits from your plan allocation
  • A visual progress bar showing consumption against your plan

Spend limits

Spend limits prevent unexpected charges by capping usage at both the organization and individual user level. Limits are enforced per billing cycle and reset automatically.

Maximum credit overage

Enterprise organizations can set an overage cap — the maximum number of extra credits your team can consume beyond the contracted plan allocation. This is your primary guardrail against runaway spending if your team exceeds the included credits.

Default per-user limit

Set a default credit allowance that applies to every user in your organization. This is the maximum number of credits any individual user can consume per billing cycle.
  1. In the Spend limits section, click + next to Default per-user limit
  2. Enter the credit limit
  3. The limit takes effect immediately for all users without a custom override

Custom per-user limits

Override the default limit for specific users who need more (or fewer) credits.
  1. Click + next to Custom per-user limits
  2. Select a user from the dropdown — including pending invitees who haven’t accepted yet
  3. Set their individual credit limit
Custom limits take precedence over the default. When a user with a pending invite accepts, their pre-configured limit applies immediately — no additional admin action needed.
For Enterprise contracts denominated in dollars (dollar commit), all limits and usage displays are shown in dollar amounts instead of credits.

What happens when a limit is reached

When a user or organization reaches a configured spend limit:
  • AI-powered features (Clark and other AI interactions) are paused for the affected scope
  • Users see a notification explaining that their credit limit has been reached
  • Administrators can increase limits or purchase additional credits to resume usage
  • Limits reset automatically at the start of each billing cycle
Spend limits only affect AI credit consumption. Other Superblocks features (building apps, deploying, managing integrations) are not impacted.

Programmatic spend management via MCP

You can monitor spending and configure limits programmatically using the Superblocks MCP server. This is useful for automated monitoring, integrating with internal tools, or managing limits at scale.

Available tools

ToolDescription
get_billing_plan_summaryGet current plan details including credit allocation, usage, billing cycle dates, and deployed app counts
get_billing_usage_dailyGet daily AI credit usage for a date range — one row per day with total credits consumed
get_billing_usage_recordsGet per-user AI credit usage records for a date range, including top consumers
list_billing_usage_limitsView all configured spend limits — organization-wide and per-user
update_org_billing_usage_limitSet or update the organization-wide credit overage cap
update_user_billing_usage_limitSet or update a per-user credit limit, or configure the default limit for all users
All billing MCP tools require the billing:manage permission.

Example: Check current usage

Ask your AI coding agent:
What's our current AI credit usage this billing cycle?
The agent will call get_billing_plan_summary and return your current usage, remaining credits, and billing cycle dates.

Example: Set a per-user limit

Set a default per-user credit limit of 50 credits per month for my Superblocks org.
The agent will call update_user_billing_usage_limit with is_default: true and credit_limit: 50.
Show me daily AI credit usage for the past 30 days.
The agent will call get_billing_usage_daily with the appropriate date range and return a breakdown of daily consumption.

Spending notifications Coming soon

Superblocks will soon support spending notifications to alert administrators when usage approaches configured limits. Notifications will help you:
  • Get alerted before your team hits a spend limit
  • Receive weekly or monthly usage summaries
  • Get notified when individual users approach their per-user budget
  • Set custom threshold alerts (e.g., notify at 80% of budget)
