Quota Policies

Control usage and costs by setting token limits per user or per team through the Nexus portal.

Overview

Quota policies let you define spending and usage boundaries for your organization. Policies are managed entirely through the Nexus portal web interface — no CLI or configuration files required.

Creating a Quota Policy

  1. Log into nexus.allcode.com
  2. Navigate to Quotas in the left sidebar
  3. Click Create Policy
  4. Configure the policy:
Field Description
Policy Name A descriptive name (e.g., "Engineering Team Standard")
Scope Per-user or per-team
Token Limit Maximum tokens per period (input + output combined)
Period Daily, weekly, or monthly reset cycle
Enforcement Mode Soft limit (warn) or hard limit (block)
Model Restriction Optionally restrict to specific Claude models
  1. Click Save Policy

Enforcement Modes

Mode Behavior
Soft (Warn) Users receive a warning when approaching the limit but can continue. Usage is flagged in the Audit Log.
Hard (Block) Requests are denied once the limit is reached. Users see a clear message explaining the quota has been exceeded.

Assigning Policies

To Individual Users

  1. Go to Users in the sidebar
  2. Select a user
  3. Under Quota Policy, choose the policy from the dropdown
  4. Click Save

To Teams

  1. Go to Quotas → Teams
  2. Create or select a team
  3. Add users to the team
  4. Assign a quota policy to the team
  5. Click Save

When a user belongs to a team with a policy, the more restrictive limit applies (individual or team).

Monitoring Usage Against Quotas

Editing and Deleting Policies

Deleting a policy removes it from all assigned users and teams. Those users will have unrestricted access until a new policy is assigned.

Default Policy

You can set a default policy that applies to all users who don't have an explicit assignment:

  1. Go to Quotas → Settings
  2. Enable Default Policy
  3. Select or create the policy to use as default
  4. Click Save

Example Configurations

Conservative (cost control):

Standard (balanced):

Power User (unrestricted):
