Manage budgets for Unity AI Gateway
This feature is in Public Preview.
Budgets help you monitor monthly Unity AI Gateway spend using filters applied to billing records.
Unity AI Gateway endpoint tags are propagated to the custom_tags column in system.billing.usage, allowing budgets to be scoped to specific teams, projects, or cost centers. For example, if an endpoint is tagged with team=ml-platform, you can create a budget filtered on team=ml-platform to track spend associated with that endpoint’s usage.
For details on creating and monitoring budgets, see Create and monitor budgets.
Requirements
- Unity AI Gateway enabled for your account.
- The billable usage system table enabled for your account. See Enable system tables.
- The budgets feature enabled for your account. Budgets are in Public Preview.
How budgets work with Unity AI Gateway
You can scope Budgets to particular endpoints with tags and workspace filters. When you add tags such as team, project, or cost_center to an Unity AI Gateway endpoint, you can then configure a budget that covers spending through any resource with those same tags.
Any product that propagates your chosen resource tags to the custom_tags column in system.billing.usage will be included in the budget scope.
Limitations
- Budgets use endpoint tags written to
custom_tagsinsystem.billing.usage. - Budgets do not support request tags.
- Budgets provide spend visibility and alerting, but they do not stop usage or enforce hard spending limits.
