How it works
Each evaluation cycle:- Fetches your current balance from the billing service
- Skips if balance is zero or negative — the balance is already depleted, which is a different situation
- Queries the last 7 days of billing data from
billing_dailyto calculate your average daily spend - Calculates estimated days remaining —
currentBalance / averageDailySpend - Compares against your threshold — if estimated days remaining is less than
forecast_days, an alert is triggered
Configuration
You can configure balance depletion alerts from the Alerts page in your dashboard.| Setting | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | Toggle the alert on or off | true / false |
| Forecast Days | Alert when estimated days remaining drops below this | Any positive number (e.g., 3) |
| Scope | What entities to monitor | organization, user |
Scope
- Organization — monitors your organization’s shared balance. All org admins, owners, and billing members receive the alert.
- User — monitors your personal account balance.
Edge cases
Zero daily spend
If you have had no spend in the last 7 days, the daily burn rate is zero. No alert is fired because the balance is not depleting.Already depleted
If your balance is already at or below zero, this alert does not fire. Use the low balance alert for threshold-based notifications on current balance.Balance depletion forecast and low balance alerts complement each other. Low balance fires when your balance crosses a dollar threshold right now. Balance depletion forecasts when you will hit zero based on your trend. Consider enabling both for comprehensive coverage.
