Budgets

Ellipsis caps spend two ways: a budget per run, and trailing limits per account. Both ship with safe defaults you can tighten anytime in Settings → Spend.

Per-run budget

Agent runs default to $50.00, code review runs to $2.00. A run takes the most specific budget set: agent config, then account default.

Override one agent with limits.run (USD):

ellipsis:
  version: v1
limits:
  run: 25.0

To change the budget for a single run started or replayed through the API, CLI, or dashboard, pass a config_override_yaml that sets limits.run (a partial config merged onto the agent config and re-validated). The platform caps any run at $50.00.

Trailing spend limits

Account-wide caps on total spend over rolling windows, checked before every run:

These are the defaults; adjust them in Settings → Spend, up to a platform ceiling of $1,000 / $10,000 / $40,000. They apply to combined spend and to agent runs and code review separately.

An agent config can set its own per-config limits with limits.day, limits.week, and limits.month (USD), capped at the same $1,000 / $10,000 / $40,000:

ellipsis:
  version: v1
limits:
  day: 20.0
  week: 100.0
  month: 500.0
