# Get a workspace's budget

> A workspace's budget: its monthly spend limit (amount_micros; automatic is true while the owners have not set one, and it is then $200 or twice last month's spend), what was charged this month (spent_micros), the most the owners may set it to themselves (max_amount_micros), its alerts (percent of the limit, each emailed to the owners once a month), whether usage pauses at the limit (pause_at_limit), the webhook told of each alert, and state: ok, warning or stopped, with a message when work is stopped or close to it.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/budget</code></div>

Members of the workspace only.

All amounts are whole millionths of a dollar: 500000000 is $500. `max_amount_micros` is null for g1t's own workspaces, which have no ceiling. When `state` is `stopped`, new sandboxes, builds and app requests wait until the limit is raised or the month closes.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`billing`](/reference/mcp/#billing) with `action` `budget`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`billing:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |

## Example request

```sh

## Example response

A successful request answers `200` with:

```json

  "amount_micros": 500000000,
  "automatic": false,
  "spent_micros": 132450000,
  "max_amount_micros": 2000000000,

  ],
  "pause_at_limit": true,
  "webhook": "https://ops.example.com/g1t/budget",
  "state": "ok",
  "message": null
}
```

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
