Monitor how your agents consume credits and set limits to control costs.

Tracking Usage

The Usage Reports dashboard provides visibility into credit consumption across your team.
Usage Dashboard

The Usage Reports dashboard shows credit consumption across your team

The dashboard includes:
  • Credit consumption by agent and time period
  • Usage graphs showing trends over time
  • Daily averages for credit consumption
  • Top consumers — see which agents use the most credits
Review your usage regularly to identify agents that may need optimization. High credit usage often indicates opportunities to simplify instructions or reduce context size.

Setting Usage Limits

Protect your credit balance by setting limits on how much each agent can consume.
Usage Limits

Usage limits help prevent runaway agents from consuming all your credits

How Limits Work

1

Set a default limit

Establish a baseline limit that applies to all agents automatically.
2

Customize per agent

Override the default for specific agents that need higher or lower limits.
3

Monitor notifications

Receive alerts when agents approach their limits.

When Limits Are Reached

When an agent reaches its usage limit:
  • The agent pauses automatically
  • No additional credits are consumed
  • You receive a notification
  • All data and configurations remain intact
  • You can increase the limit or reset it to resume
Set limits thoughtfully — too restrictive and your agents won’t complete important tasks; too generous and a misconfigured agent could consume significant credits.

Optimizing Credit Usage

Several factors affect how many credits your agents use:
FactorImpact
FrequencyRunning every few minutes vs. hourly makes a big difference
Context sizeTrim instructions to only what’s essential
Data storageStore info in documents for selective retrieval, not in instructions
Instruction complexitySimplify logic and reduce unnecessary loops
Model selectionDifferent models have different costs
