# Update compute overage settings

`PUT /spaces/{space_id}/overages`

Enables or disables compute overage billing for the space, optionally
setting a monthly compute-minute cap above which standard databases
auto-pause. Requires a user JWT and a payment method on file.

## Path parameters

- `space_id` string, required

## Request body

- UpdateOverageSettingsRequest — Request body for updating compute overage settings on a space.
  - `enabled` boolean, required — Set to true to enable overages, false to disable.
  - `compute_limit_minutes` integer, nullable — Optional when `enabled` is true: the monthly compute-minute limit above which standard databases auto-pause. Must be greater than the free-tier limit (6000 minutes). Omit or set to `null` for no limit — the user is billed for all overage usage with no upper bound. Must be omitted (or `null`) when `enabled` is false; on disable the server resets the limit to the free-tier default.

## Response `204`

Overage settings updated

## Other responses

- `default` — Error response
