Spend limit over 80% consumed
AI summary
When Claude API spend limits reach 80% consumption, production workloads are at risk of API throttling or cutoff without warning. Raise the limit or reduce consumption to prevent service interruptions.
What it detects
Detects effective spend limits whose current consumption exceeds 80% of the configured limit.
Why it matters
A spend limit whose consumption has already crossed 80% will throttle or cut off API access when it is reached, interrupting production workloads without warning. Raise the limit deliberately or reduce consumption before the cutoff hits. Utilization is computed from the effective spend limits endpoint (current spend vs. limit).
The rule
Every Claude Spend Limit where Utilization is greater than 80
