Spend is counted from the moment the budget is created, so spend earlier in the current window is not included. Requires gatewayBudgets:create at the organization; a project key or an organization key may call it. ## OpenAPI ````yaml POST /api/gateway/v1/budgets openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: LangWatch API description: LangWatch openapi spec version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://app.langwatch.ai security: - project_api_key: [] paths: /api/gateway/v1/budgets: post: summary: Create budget description: >- Creates an organization-owned budget across all seven scope types.

The first request to use a key runs normally and its response is stored for 24 hours. A later request with the same key and the same body is not executed again: it returns the stored response, marked with `X-Idempotent-Replay: true`. The same key with a different body is refused 409 `idempotency_error`, as is a retry sent while the original is still running. Only successful responses are stored, so a create that failed can simply be retried with the same key. schema: type: string minLength: 8 maxLength: 255 requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: scope: oneOf: - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: organization organization_id: type: string required: - kind - organization_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: team team_id: type: string required: - kind - team_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: project project_id: type: string required: - kind - project_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: virtual_key virtual_key_id: type: string required: - kind - virtual_key_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: principal principal_user_id: type: string required: - kind - principal_user_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: group group_id: type: string required: - kind - group_id - type: object properties: kind: type: string const: attributed_user anchor_virtual_key_id: type: string anchor_project_id: type: string required: - kind name: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 128 description: type: string window: type: string enum: - minute - hour - day - week - month - total - manual limit_usd: anyOf: - type: number exclusiveMinimum: 0 - type: string pattern: ^\d+(\.\d+)?$ on_breach: type: string enum: - block - warn timezone: type: - string - 'null' provider_key: type: - string - 'null' external_id: anyOf: - type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 128 - type: 'null' metadata: type: object propertyNames: type: string minLength: 1 maxLength: 64 additionalProperties: type: string maxLength: 500 cycle_anchor_at: type: string format: date-time pattern: >- ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?(?:Z|([+-](?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d)))$ allow_unreachable: type: boolean required: - scope - name - window - limit_usd responses: '201': description: Success content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: budget: type: object properties: id: type: string organization_id: type: string scope_type: type: string enum: - organization - team - project - virtual_key - principal - group - attributed_user scope_id: type: string name: type: string description: type: - string - 'null' window: type: string enum: - minute - hour - day - week - month - total - manual on_breach: type: string enum: - block - warn limit_usd: type: string description: >- Display value.
