Configure the Total AI Unit Budget in AI Agent Studio

You can configure the AI unit to define the budget period, reserve budget for agents and agentic applications, and configure common warning and auto-stop controls.

Before configuring a new budget period, confirm the approved total AI unit budget and budget dates, and determine whether agents and agentic applications require separate aggregate budgets. Also, consider which scopes require warning thresholds and auto-stop controls.

1. Go to AI Agent Studio and select the Usage and Value tab.
2. From the Allocations subtab, select Configure Total Budget.
3. Enter the Budget Start Date and Budget End Date.
4. Enter the non-negative Total Budget Amount (AI Units).
5. (Optional) Enter Budget for All Apps and Agents to reserve aggregate amounts for agents and agentic applications. The combined amount must not exceed the total budget.
6. From the Warning and auto-stop settings, select one or more Level of Control options to which the policy applies:
   1. Total Budget
   2. Total Apps Budget
   3. Total Agents Budget
7. Select Soft Warning Thresholds and increase or decrease its values. You can configure multiple thresholds to provide time to review and respond to increasing consumption before the budget is exhausted.
8. (Optional) In Warning Recipient Emails, enter the email addresses of recipients who must receive warning notifications. Leave this field blank if email notifications aren't required.
9. Enable Auto-Stop if new executions must be blocked when the applicable budget is exhausted. Enable this option only when blocking new work at budget exhaustion is an acceptable business outcome.
   Note: Auto-stop blocks new runs when the applicable budget is exhausted. This can include workflows, agentic applications, and debugging. Auto-stop isn't the same as manually stopping all running sessions.
10. Select , and save your changes.
