Workflow limits

Set workspace-wide and per-workflow spending limits to govern AI model costs across workflows.

Workflow settings are available to workspace administrators. These controls help you manage costs across all workflows in your workspace.

Spend limits help you control costs across all workflows in your workspace. These settings work alongside individual workflow limits to provide organization-wide cost governance.

Accessing Workflow Settings

Navigate to your [workspace settings](https://app.odeus.ai/settings/workspace) from the main menu.



Select the **Workflows** section to view security and spending controls.

Workspace Spend Limit

Set a maximum monthly spending cap for all workflow AI model usage across the entire workspace.

Setting	Range	Default
Monthly spend limit	0 - 100,000 EUR	500 EUR

How it works:

• Tracks cumulative AI model costs across all workflows
• When the limit is reached, workflow executions that require AI models will stop
• Resets at the beginning of each billing period
• The active billing period (start and end date) is displayed in the spend limit dialog so you always know which period your limit applies to

Set this limit based on your expected workflow volume. Monitor usage during the first few weeks to establish a baseline, then adjust accordingly.

Default Monthly Limit per Workflow

Set the default spending limit applied to new workflows when they are created.

Setting	Range	Default
Default monthly limit	1 - 10,000 USD	25 USD

How it works:

• Every new workflow is created with this limit
• Workflow owners can adjust their individual limits up to the maximum allowed
• Prevents runaway costs from newly created workflows
• New runs are blocked when workflows reach their own monthly limit

Maximum Monthly Limit per Workflow

Set the ceiling for individual workflow spending limits. This prevents any single workflow from exceeding a certain cost threshold.

Setting	Range	Default
Maximum monthly limit	1 - 10,000 USD	No limit

How it works:

• Workflow owners cannot set limits higher than this value
• Existing workflows with limits above this threshold are automatically adjusted down
• Admin-set override limits are not affected by this cap

When you lower the maximum limit, all non-admin-overridden workflow limits that exceed the new maximum are automatically reduced to match. The system provides a summary of affected workflows.

Execution Step Limit

Each workflow execution is limited to a maximum of 2,000 steps. This prevents runaway workflows from consuming excessive resources.
