Telnyx Spend Limits API is one of 223 APIs that [Telnyx](https://apis.io/providers/telnyx/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Spend Limits. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

Daily and monthly spend limits per product. A limit applies to the organization of the authenticated user, or to the user's own account when they belong to no organization; every user of the organization sees and changes the same limits. - **Periods.** `daily` covers the current UTC day and `monthly` the current UTC calendar month. The two limits are independent: you can set either, both or neither. - **Blocking.** When spend in a period goes above the limit (strictly greater), the product is blocked until the period ends: 00:00 UTC the next day for `daily`, 00:00 UTC on the 1st of the next month for `monthly`. A block appears within about 2 minutes (daily) or 10 minutes (monthly) of the spend being recorded. - **Changes apply immediately.** Creating, updating or deleting a limit checks the period's spend in the same request: raising the limit above the spend, or removing it, lifts that period's block, and lowering it below the spend blocks the product at once. The `evaluation` object in the response says what happened. - **Supported products.** Today only `inference` supports spend limits. A blocked account gets HTTP 403 with the error title `Inference spend limit reached` (code `10039`) on new billable chat completions, Responses, Anthropic Messages and classification requests; requests already running finish normally. Take the list of products from the list operation. - **Limits set by Telnyx.** Telnyx support can also set a limit on your account. It is listed with `origin: operator` and you can update or delete it like your own.
