API Endpoint To Manage Project Budgets
OpenAI Developer Community
May 6, 2026
There are a few posts about the project budgets and being able to set/change these through the API. There is apparently still no way to do this, and I’m wondering why? Right now, I have to rely on the alerts (emails) to get me to use the Dashboard and change/increase the budgets as needed.
@_j Have you investigated this?
What is available via API:
- Usage endpoints (tokens): /v1/organization/usage/…
- Costs endpoint (spend): /v1/organization/costs
- Project rate-limits endpoints (model RPM/TPM limits), which are different from monthly spend budget.

- Usage/Costs API reference: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/usage/costs
- Rate limits guide (mentions usage limits managed in account settings): https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/organization-rate-limits
- Project rate limits API reference: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/project-rate-limits
