Request body

1 required Required: spending_limit_cents.

Spending limit cents
spending_limit_cents
integer

Monthly spending cap in cents. Must be positive. To remove a previously configured limit, send a DELETE request to the spending_limit endpoint — 0 and null are rejected here. The cap is alert-only: notifications fire at 80% and 100%, but computes are not suspended. Setting a cap below the period's already-accrued spend is permitted and will trigger the over-limit notification on the next worker run.

Errors

default

General error

This endpoint can return the standard Neon API error response.

Response fields

  • message Required. Human-readable error message.
  • code Required. Machine-readable error code.
  • request_id Optional. Request identifier for debugging. You can provide one with the X-Request-ID header.

Retry guidance

If no response is returned, the request may still have reached the server. This is why retry safety depends on the method and status code.

Idempotent methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS) are generally safe to retry after a network error or timeout. Non-idempotent methods (POST, PATCH, DELETE, PUT) can change state, so avoid automatic retries unless your workflow can tolerate duplicate effects.

Responses with 423 Locked or 503 Service Unavailable are safe to retry. 423 Locked means the resource is temporarily locked, usually because another operation is in progress.
