# Update Spending Caps

`POST /v1/organizations/billing/spending-caps`

Update spending cap configuration.

Configure spending limits and alert thresholds to control costs.

**Features:**
- **Soft Limit (Budget)**: Triggers alerts but doesn't block API access
- **Hard Cap**: Blocks API access when reached. Setting a positive
  `hard_spending_cap` arms enforcement automatically; pass
  `hard_cap_enabled: false` in the same request to set the cap without
  enforcing it. Clearing the cap (null/0) disarms enforcement.
- **Alert Thresholds**: Customize when to receive spending notifications

**Requirements:**
- Admin permission
- Only applies to organizations with auto-billing enabled

**Example:**
```python
# Set $100 budget with alerts at 75% and 100%
response = await client.post(
    "/v1/organizations/billing/spending-caps",
    json={
        "monthly_spending_budget": 10000,  # $100 in cents
        "spending_alert_thresholds": [75, 100],
        "spending_alerts_enabled": True,
    }
)

# Enable hard cap at $500
response = await client.post(
    "/v1/organizations/billing/spending-caps",
    json={
        "hard_spending_cap": 50000,  # $500 in cents
        "hard_cap_enabled": True,
    }
)

# Disable all spending limits
response = await client.post(
    "/v1/organizations/billing/spending-caps",
    json={
        "monthly_spending_budget": None,
        "hard_spending_cap": None,
        "hard_cap_enabled": False,
    }
)
```
