Iroh Services provides tools to help you stay in control of your spending.

​
Spend caps

Spend caps let you set a maximum monthly budget for your project. When your usage reaches the cap, services that incur additional charges will be paused until the next billing cycle.

​
Setting a spend cap

  1. Go to your project dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Settings
  3. Under Spend cap, enter your maximum monthly budget.
  4. Click Save.
Your spend cap applies to your total invoice, including the base plan cost, any applicable taxes, and usage-based charges that exceed what’s included in your plan.

​
What happens when you hit your cap

When your usage-based charges reach your spend cap:
  • Metrics ingestion will be paused. Endpoints will stop sending new metrics until the next billing cycle.
  • Your existing data is preserved. Dashboards and historical metrics remain accessible.
  • Endpoint connections — the number of active connections sending metrics to your project will be throttled.
  • Active relay connections are not affected. Your endpoints will continue to connect through relays.
Usage resets at the start of each billing cycle.

Tips for managing costs

  • Start with the Free plan to understand your usage patterns before upgrading.
  • Set a spend cap early to avoid unexpected charges.
  • Review usage regularly from the dashboard to spot trends before they become costly.
