Check and refill budgets
Last validated:
Aperture by Tailscale is currently in alpha.
After you configure per-user spending limits or a team-wide budget, you need visibility into how budgets are being consumed. Aperture provides visibility into how budgets are being consumed through the Aperture dashboard.
Each bucket's status includes the current balance, capacity, refill rate, and last updated timestamp.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- An Aperture instance with quotas configured. Refer to the quotas configuration reference for details.
- Network access to the Aperture host URL (default:
http://ai).
Check quota status
The Models page in the Aperture dashboard displays quota status alongside each model's pricing. When quotas are configured, the pricing tooltip shows the applicable bucket names, current balance, and refill rate.
Next steps
- Set per-user spending limits if you have not configured individual budgets yet.
- Set a team-wide budget to cap total organizational spending.
- Export usage data to S3 for long-term cost analysis and reporting.
