Manage usage limits

Usage limits cap how many credits each user can use from the shared pool. You can set a limit directly for a user, through a group, or as the profile default. A limit is a credit amount, not a seat count. You set limits in the Kiro console under Access management > Credit sharing.

Your role needs permission to set and review usage limits. The full Kiro administrator policy includes those actions and other Kiro administration permissions.

• User-level limit: applies directly to one user. Set it from the Users tab.
• Group-level limit: applies to each member of a group. Set it from the Groups tab.
• Profile-level limit: provides the default for users without a user or group limit. Set it with Edit profile limit.

The Usage limit column on the Users tab shows each user's limit and its source: User-level limit, Group-level limit, or Pool-level limit. The console uses Pool-level limit for the profile default.

Usage limits can only be set for credit sharing members. A limit cannot exceed the pool's total monthly and additional credits.

Kiro chooses each user's effective limit in this order:

1. The user's own limit.
2. The highest limit from any group the user belongs to.
3. The profile limit.

If none of these limits exist, the user draws from the shared pool without a usage limit.

1. Open the Users or Groups tab.
2. Select the users or groups.
3. Choose Set usage limit.
4. Enter the credit amount and confirm.

1. Open the Credits tab, or open Dashboard > Credit sharing. The Credits tab shows the limit under Profile usage limits; the Dashboard shows it as Credit usage limit for this profile.
2. Choose Edit profile limit.
3. Enter the credit amount and confirm.

When a user reaches their effective limit, Kiro blocks further usage until you adjust their limit or until usage resets at the start of the next billing cycle.

If you set a limit below the credits a user has already used in the current billing cycle, that user is blocked from further usage under the same rule.

To change a user or group limit, select the user or group and choose Set usage limit again. In the Change usage limits dialog, enter the new credit amount and confirm. The new amount cannot exceed the pool's total monthly and additional credits.

To remove a user or group limit, select the user or group, choose Remove usage limit, then choose Remove limit.

To change the profile limit, choose Edit profile limit, enter the new credit amount, and confirm. To remove it, choose Edit profile limit, then choose Remove limit.
