### Billing cycles {#billing-cycles}

Zed is billed on a monthly basis based on the date you initially subscribe. You'll receive _at least_ one invoice from Zed each month you're subscribed to Zed Pro, and more than one if you use more than $10 in incremental token spend within the month.
Zed is billed on a monthly basis based on the date you initially subscribe. You'll receive _at least_ one invoice from Zed each month you're subscribed to Zed Pro, and may receive more than one invoice if you use hosted models beyond your included monthly token credit.

### Threshold billing {#threshold-billing}
### Zed Pro threshold billing {#threshold-billing}

Zed utilizes threshold billing to ensure timely payment collection. Every time your usage of Zed's hosted models crosses a $10 spend threshold, a new invoice is generated, and the threshold resets to $0.
For individual Zed Pro subscriptions, Zed uses threshold billing to ensure timely payment collection. Threshold billing controls when already-allowed token usage is invoiced during the month; your [monthly spend limit](./plans-and-usage.md#usage-spend-limits) still controls when hosted model usage stops.

For example,
Threshold invoices start at $10 of pre-tax incremental token spend. For higher token usage, Zed may automatically raise your pre-tax invoicing threshold in $10 increments, up to $100, so you receive fewer mid-cycle invoices. Once raised, the invoicing threshold is not automatically lowered during the same subscription.

For Zed Business billing, see [Organization billing](#organization).

For example:

- You subscribe on February 1. Your first invoice is $10.
- You use $12 of incremental tokens in the month of February, with the first $10 spent on February 15. You'll receive an invoice for $10 on February 15.
- On March 1, you receive an invoice for $12: $10 (March Pro subscription) and $2 in leftover token spend, since your usage didn't cross the $10 threshold.

For high-volume users, the threshold automatically scales up over time to keep invoicing manageable, so subsequent invoices may trigger at larger increments rather than every $10.
- On March 1, you receive your next monthly subscription invoice, plus any remaining token spend that was not already invoiced during February.

## Spend Limits {#usage-spend-limits}

On your Billing page you'll find an input for `Monthly Spend Limit`. The dollar amount here specifies your _monthly_ limit for spend on tokens, _not counting_ the $5/month included with your Pro subscription.
### Zed Pro {#pro-spend-limits}

The default value for all Pro users is $10, for a total monthly spend with Zed of $20 ($10 for your Pro subscription, $10 in incremental token spend). This can be set to $0 to limit your spend with Zed to exactly $10/month. If you adjust this limit _higher_ than $10 and consume more than $10 of incremental token spend, you'll be billed via [threshold billing](./billing.md#threshold-billing).

This can be set to $0 to limit your spend with Zed to exactly $10/month. If you adjust this limit _higher_ than $10 and consume more than $10 of incremental token spend, that usage may be billed during the month via [Zed Pro threshold billing](./billing.md#threshold-billing).

Once the spend limit is hit, we'll stop any further usage until your token spend limit resets.

On Zed Business, administrators set an org-wide spend limit from the Data & Privacy page in the organization dashboard. See [Organization Billing](./billing.md#ai-usage) for details.
### Zed Business {#business-spend-limits}

On Zed Business, administrators set a pre-tax org-wide spend limit from the Data & Privacy page in the organization dashboard. Seats and AI usage are consolidated into [Organization billing](./billing.md#organization). Once the org-wide spend limit is reached, we'll stop hosted model usage for members until the limit resets or an administrator raises it.

> **Note:** Spend limits are a Zed Pro and Business feature. Student plan users cannot configure spend limits; usage is capped at the $10/month included credit.
