ChatGPT user with no spend cap

Last updated Oct 17, 2026 Preview Policies Licences & Costs

AI summary

ChatGPT users with unlimited spend limits can incur unexpected costs from runaway agents, scripted loops, or heavy usage. This policy helps you identify and cap these users to prevent surprises.

Severity: Medium Costs Recommended Preview

What it detects

Detects users whose effective spend limit is unlimited.

Why it matters

An uncapped user has no ceiling on what a runaway agent, a scripted loop or an enthusiastic month can cost. Caps are cheap to set and easy to raise, and the request flow exists precisely so that raising one is a decision rather than a surprise on an invoice.

Every ChatGPT User where Effective Limit Type equals 'unlimited'
