From alerts to enforcement

Cloudflare has introduced Spend Management in beta for pay-as-you-go customers using Workers and Durable Objects. Beyond sending budget alerts, it can pause new billable activity when a configured cap is reached.

Teams can manage thresholds, notification addresses, and caps in the dashboard, CLI, or REST API. The dashboard also shows current-cycle spending and an audit trail of limit changes.

Current scope and limits

The first release covers two products, with more planned. Enforcement follows metering and synchronization; it should not be treated as an instantaneous cutoff.

Cloudflare says the feature can work alongside AI Gateway's per-user and per-model budgets to control both compute and AI inference costs.
