Manage AI spending

Last validated: Apr 9, 2026View as Markdown

Aperture tracks token usage and cost across all LLM requests. You can buy tokens through Aperture, use quotas to set spending limits per user or team, monitor budget consumption, and refill balances when needed. You can also continue using any supported provider without buying tokens. Configuration options for quotas are set in the Aperture configuration and monitoring is available through the Aperture dashboard.

Set per-user spending limits

Configure quota buckets in Aperture to set spending limits for individual users.

Set a team-wide budget
