Cost Management

Check the billing dashboard regularly to track AI costs and avoid unexpected charges.
Configure per-run cost limits in your agent settings to prevent runaway AI costs:

Smaller models (like GPT-4o-mini or Claude Haiku) are more cost-effective for simple tasks. Save powerful models for complex work.
