Summary
Vercel added AI Gateway spend budgets that cap cumulative dollar spend for an entire team or a single project, with email alerts at 50, 75, and 100 percent of the limit and default budgets that new projects and API keys inherit automatically.
What changed
AI Gateway now supports configurable dollar spend budgets scoped to a team or project, rejects requests once spend exceeds the limit, sends email alerts at 50, 75, and 100 percent, and applies default budgets that newly created projects and keys inherit.
Why it matters
Token spend on multi-provider AI Gateway traffic is hard to predict, so hard dollar caps and inherited defaults give platform teams a guardrail against runaway agent and inference costs without building their own metering.
