Step-by-Step Calculation
1 Pool value (pre-paid) $2,300 (80 ร— $19) + (20 ร— $39) = 230,000 AI credits (1 credit = $0.01)
2 Max expected usage $2,750 (90 ร— $50) + (10 ร— $100) = 275,000 AI credits
3 Post-pool additional spend $450 max(0, $2,750 โˆ’ $2,300) ๐Ÿ’ก Extra metered charges that kick in after pre-paid credits are exhausted. If draw โ‰ค pool, this is $0 โ€” no extra bill.
4 Recommended Enterprise Level Budget (ELB) + 10% buffer $495 $450 ร— 1.10
Maximum monthly bill
$3,575
What You Actually Pay
Seats
Metered
Seat fees (pool included โ€” no extra charge) Metered overage (only if pool runs out)
โœ“ Healthy configuration. Pool covers all user consumption. Metered charges should be rare or zero.
โš  Metered charges expected. Max draw exceeds pool value. Users will trigger metered billing once the pool is exhausted. Set Additional usage allowed โ†’ not allowed on the Enterprise Level Budget to make this a hard stop.
โ›” No per-user fairness. Without a User Level Budget, one user or agent can drain the entire pool overnight, blocking everyone else.
โš  Cost Center budgets ON: The Enterprise Level Budget only covers non-cost-center users. Ensure every cost center has its own budget โ€” otherwise those teams are uncapped.
