# Budget & Consumption for DinoAI credits

> Admins get a dedicated home in Settings to track DinoAI credit spend, set monthly workspace allowances, allocate credits per user, and cap background agents.

*July 29, 2026*

Admins now have a dedicated home in **Settings > Budget & Consumption** to see where DinoAI credits are going and to keep spend predictable. Budgets are tracked per calendar month and reset on the 1st.

* **Platform view**: company-wide credit spend across every workspace, budget alerts when a workspace crosses 80%, a 12-month credits-by-workspace trend chart, and controls to set a monthly allowance per workspace.
* **Workspace view**: a 6-month credits-by-agent chart, the workspace's monthly allowance (set by a platform admin), and a **Request more** button when you need a higher cap.
* **User allocation**: workspace admins can distribute the allowance as a **Shared pool** (first come, first served) or **Per-user** (each user gets a fixed share, and exhausting it pauses only that user's agents).
* **Background-agent caps**: one combined cap for background agents, with optional per-agent caps, so long-running work stays inside guardrails.

<Info>
  [Copilot](/products/dino-ai/copilot/index) is never capped. Budgets and caps apply to background agents only, so interactive development is never interrupted.

See [Budget & Consumption](/products/dino-ai/budget-and-consumption) for the full walkthrough, and [DinoAI Credits](/products/dino-ai/dinoai-credits) for how credits are calculated.
