Hey guys! I have an agency that is planning to offer VAPI agents to clients but can't find a way to limit credit usage for each agent. So if one of my clients pays $300 upfront and another pays $50, I don't want to mix these budgets. I understand that a temporary solution is making one organization for each client, but I can't see that scaling after a couple dozen organizations. Thank you!

Hi there! 👋 Based on the information available, there isn't a direct method to limit credit usage per individual agent within the same organization. However, I can see you're looking for a scalable solution to manage different client budgets. Have you explored any of these potential alternatives? 1. **Client Billing Options**: Have you considered having clients create their own accounts with linked credit cards for [direct billing based on usage](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1344656349367107667)? This would naturally separate their budgets. 2. **Usage Tracking**: Have you tried using the [API to track usage](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1337948247678914610) grouped by assistant? This could help you monitor each client's usage, even if it doesn't directly limit it. 3. **Monthly Billing Limits**: Have you set up a [monthly billing limit](https://docs.vapi.ai/billing/billing-limits) at the organization level? While this doesn't solve per-agent limits, it could prevent overall budget overruns. 4. **Top-up Payment System**: Have you looked into the new [top-up payment system](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2024/10/10) that allows for more predictable budgets? Are there specific requirements or constraints for your agency model that make these alternatives challenging to implement?

Hey, as of now, we don't have the solution for this. You can raise any feature requests, but for an immediate unblock, you have to build an access control solution on your end where you decide when to block your clients from accessing your services based on your credit usage.
