Per project and per organization spending limits buttons missing
OpenAI Developer Community
May 5, 2026
Welcome to the forum!
From what I can see, there are usage/rate limits and there are also billing/spend alerts. But the current wording around spend/budget controls seems to be about alerts/monitoring, not a guaranteed hard stop. (As already stated in this thread)
So I think what’s already been pointed out is accurate for the currently documented/current UI behavior: these budget/spend settings should not be relied on as hard caps.
That said, if your projects were actually being stopped before when they crossed the limit and that behavior changed recently, then Support/OpenAI staff would probably need to clarify whether that previous behavior was intended, changed or broken.
They are probably the best option now to help your organization with this.
