Vercel adds per-person spending caps to its AI Gateway

From 31 August 2026 an AI Gateway team can set a spending limit per team member, either as a default that applies to everyone without one or as a custom cap that overrides it. The limit covers every API key attributed to that person plus their app tokens, resets monthly, weekly or daily, emails alerts at 50%, 75% and 100% of the allocation, and rejects new requests once it is reached. User, API-key, project and team budgets all apply together, and spend on a team’s own provider credentials does not count against it.

What it means Vercel names the case out loud: one person’s unsupervised coding agent could previously drain a shared team budget, and now it cannot.
