Change a spend limit
Changing a spend limit lets you change the amount a subscription can spend on a usage
type in a rating period. You can make the following changes to a spend limit:
- temporarily override the spend limit
- permanently override the spend limit
- change the default alert thresholds
When you temporarily override a spend limit, you change the spend limit for the duration of the current rating period. At least one subscription billing item must exist in the current period before you can temporarily override a spend limit.
Warning: When you change the default alert thresholds, Smile deletes the
existing alert thresholds and uses only the new thresholds that you specify. To
retain the default thresholds, re-enter both the default threshold values and the
new threshold values.
This task explains how to change a spend limit.
