# Set spending limits

Set monthly spending limits to control how much can be spent in your [space](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/guides/concepts#space) each month. You can set a [limit for the entire space](https://autosheet.com/docs/admin/billing/pay-as-you-go/set-spending-limits#set-a-space-monthly-limit) and [individual limits per user](https://autosheet.com/docs/admin/billing/pay-as-you-go/set-spending-limits#set-user-monthly-limits).

**Prerequisites**

Only the space owner or a space admin can set spending limits for a space.

## Set a space monthly limit

A space monthly limit restricts the total amount that can be spent across all users in your space per calendar month. When the limit is reached, all usage is blocked until you raise the limit or the limit resets at the end of the calendar month.

1. Sign in to the [Autosheet dashboard](https://dashboard.autosheet.com/) with the account that you use for your [space](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/guides/concepts#space).

2. In the sidebar, select **Limits**.

3. In the **Space monthly limit** section, click **Set space monthly limit**.

4. Enter the amount, and click **Apply**.

## Set user monthly limits

User monthly limits restrict the amount that an individual user can spend per calendar month. When a user reaches their limit, that user's usage is blocked until the limit is raised or the limit resets at the end of the calendar month. Other users in the space can continue using the add-ons normally.

### Set a default limit for future users

You can set a default monthly limit that applies to all new users who join the space. You can [adjust the monthly limit for individual users](https://autosheet.com/docs/admin/billing/pay-as-you-go/set-spending-limits#set-limits-for-current-users) after they join.

1. Sign in to the [Autosheet dashboard](https://dashboard.autosheet.com/) with the account that you use for your [space](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/guides/concepts#space).

2. In the sidebar, select **Limits**.

3. In the **User monthly limits** section, click **Set default monthly limit for new users**.

4. Enter the amount, and click **Apply**.

   ![Apply the default monthly limit for new users](https://autosheet.com/docs/article-images/dashboard/limits-new-users-set-apply.png)
