# Credit Usage Alerts

> Set alerts that email your team when your organization's credit usage crosses a threshold.

Use credit usage alerts to get an email when your organization's credit consumption crosses a threshold. Alerts help you catch unusual usage before it becomes an unexpected bill or an interrupted workload.

## Credit Alert Availability

Credit usage alerts are available on the **Team** and **Enterprise** plans.

Members with the **Developer** or **Admin** [role](./ade-members#member-roles) can view alerts on the [Usage page](https://ade.landing.ai/settings/usage). Only **Admins** can create, edit, and delete alerts.

## Credit Alert Workflow

Alerts work like this:

* Each alert has a threshold, a list of recipients, and an optional label.
* Your organization's consumption for the current billing period is checked against each alert's threshold every hour.
* When consumption crosses the threshold, the recipients receive an email. Each alert emails at most once per billing period, then starts watching again when the next period begins.

## Default Alerts

By default, organizations on the **Team** and **Enterprise** plans have three alerts that are sent to members with the **Admin** role. Default alerts can be deleted.

| Threshold     | Label          |
| ------------- | -------------- |
| 80% of quota  | Usage warning  |
| 90% of quota  | Critical usage |
| 100% of quota | Quota reached  |

## Create an Alert

Members with the **Admin** role can create alerts. To create an alert:

1. Go to the [Usage page](https://ade.landing.ai/settings/usage) and scroll down to the **Alert** section.
2. Click **Create Alert**.
3. Enter the **Alert threshold**: a number and its [unit](#alert-threshold-units) (**Credits**, **USD**, or **% of quota**).
4. Add up to 20 **Recipients**. Recipients must be members of your organization. A recipient who later leaves the organization stops receiving emails.
5. To describe the alert, add an optional **Label** (for example, "Finance overage warning").
6. Click **Create alert**.

## Edit or Delete an Alert

Members with the **Admin** role can edit and delete alerts. To change or remove an alert, open it from the alert table on the Usage page, then update its values or click **Delete Alert**.

## Alert Threshold Units

All three threshold units measure the same quantity: the credits your organization consumes in a billing period. The create dialog shows your subscription quota and the next reset date, and previews the equivalent credit value as you type.

| Unit       | Description                                                     |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Credits    | The threshold as a number of credits.                           |
| USD        | Converted to credits at the standard rate (\$1 = 100 credits).  |
| % of quota | A percentage of your subscription quota for the billing period. |

## Alert Status

The alert table on the Usage page shows one of two statuses for each alert. Statuses reset automatically when a new billing period starts.

| Status    | Meaning                                                                                                                                    |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Watching  | The alert has not fired during the current billing period.                                                                                 |
| Triggered | The alert fired during the current billing period. Recipients received the email, and the alert does not fire again until the next period. |
