Cap spend. Track every dollar.
Set budget limits per team, per project, and per model. Enforce token quotas, detect cost anomalies, and attribute every dollar to the user and provider that incurred it.
Capabilities
Dollar Budget Caps
Set hard spending limits per team, per project, and per model. When a budget is exhausted, Arbitex Gateway blocks requests until an admin raises the limit or the billing period resets. Token quotas provide a second enforcement layer for teams that need to control volume independent of cost.
Real-Time Spend Tracking
Track token usage and dollar cost across every provider in real time. Per-user, per-model, and per-provider attribution shows exactly who spent what and where. Tag conversations and usage to cost centers with per-project cost tagging so finance teams map AI spend to business units.
Anomaly Detection
Detect unusual cost spikes automatically. Budget exhaustion alerts notify admins before limits are hit so teams avoid disruption. The cost forecasting API projects spend trends based on current burn rate, giving finance and engineering a shared view of where budgets are heading before overruns occur.
How it works
Set budgets and quotas
Define dollar caps and token quotas at the team, project, or model level. Assign cost tags to map usage back to business units and cost centers. Budget configuration is available through the admin console or the API.
Enforce automatically
Arbitex Gateway blocks requests that exceed budget or quota limits. Hard enforcement means no surprise bills and no manual intervention. Exhaustion alerts fire before limits are reached so teams adjust proactively.
Visualize and forecast
Usage dashboards show spend by team, model, provider, and time period. Anomaly detection flags deviations from baseline patterns. The forecasting API projects burn rate across every active budget so finance teams see what is coming before the end of the billing cycle.
