Preventing overspending

Learn how to set budgets and track when they are nearing or above a threshold to prevent overspending.

¿Quién puede utilizar esta característica?

Propietarios de la organización, administradores de facturación y usuarios de cuentas personales

Fuera de GitHub Enterprise Cloud, la nueva plataforma de facturación solo está disponible para:

  • Cuentas de organización de un plan de GitHub Team creado después del 13 de noviembre de 2024.
  • Cuentas de organización de un plan de GitHub Free creado después del 4 de febrero de 2025.
  • Cuentas personales (ya sea en GitHub Free o GitHub Pro) creadas después del 13 de febrero de 2025.

A partir de febrero de 2025, GitHub migrará las organizaciones en GitHub Team a la nueva plataforma de facturación. Las organizaciones recibirán un aviso 30 días antes de su migración.

En el caso de las cuentas personales existentes creadas antes del 13 de febrero de 2025, GitHub migrará cuentas personales a la nueva plataforma de facturación el 30 de junio de 2025.

Budgets and alerts allow you to track spending for your organization or personal account. By setting a monthly budget, you can monitor your spending and receive notifications by email when your spending exceeds certain preset percentages of your budget threshold. This can help you stay within your budget and avoid overspending.

The budget only applies to expenses incurred from the date of its creation onwards. Any expenses incurred prior to the creation of the budget will not be included in the calculations

For license-based products such as GitHub Copilot, Advanced Security, and GitHub Team, setting a budget does not prevent usage over the limit.

For the GitHub Copilot Premium Request SKU, to set a spending limit for premium requests over your plan's allowance, you can update the default $0 SKU-level budget and select “Stop usage when budget limit is reached”.

Note

By default, paid usage will be limited to $0 for accounts that do not have a payment method on file.

Managing budgets for your personal account

You can set spending limits and receive alerts when your usage reaches 75%, 90%, or 100% of your defined budget. Budgets can be scoped at the repository or product level, depending on the product.
