<sup>Originally posted by **profoundvision** January 12, 2026</sup> Hi, I am trying to set a team budget limit and team member budget limit. After studying the docs I now create a team with `max_budget` and `budget_duration`. I add a key to the team. Then I add a user with `max_budget_in_team`. Each user that uses the key is an internal user. This is displayed correctly in the UI: <img width="397" height="73" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/34307541-2788-4483-bf52-c93c79ae02cd" /> But when the team member exceeds their budget in the team they can still make requests. Am I missing something? </div>
