Overview
Many organizations and teams have budgetary concerns with regards to the compute spend their employees and members accrue. Paperspace has designed a system that assists Team Owners and Admins in notifying and capping compute effortlessly, accessible via the Billing page:
How It Works
Teams & Users
We like to keep things as simple as possible, so there are just two fields to consider:
That said, it is possible to set these values across an entire Team Workspace, or for a particular user.
Teams
To set for a Team, visit the Billing page as shown in the Overview section.
Users
To set for a User, navigate first to Team Settings from the upper-right-corner menu, then click the "Members" tab, like this:
Alert Amount
The amount of compute spend defined in this field serves as a threshold: when the aggregate amount has been reached, whether setting a limit for a Team or a User, all Admins receive an email to that effect.
Max Amount
The amount of compute spend defined here is an absolute cap, meaning resources will be halted & suspended if this threshold is crossed, for Teams and Users respectively.
Important Note
This feature only applies to compute, i.e. other billable resources & add-ons, such as Public IP addresses and Shared Drives, are not considered.
