Use group keys to set budgets across users, teams, and projects

Metronome now supports spend-based alerts scoped to group key values , giving customers a powerful way to monitor usage and set budgets across users, teams, projects, or any relevant dimensions.

These alerts give customers the spend visibility and controls needed to avoid billing surprises and proactively manage spend.

Alerts can be triggered when spend for a specific group key value crosses a defined threshold.

Examples include:

• user_id = 123 exceeds $1,000 in spend

• project_id = ai_lab consumes more than 100 AI credits

This is especially useful for seat-based credit models, where tracking usage and credit consumption at the user or cohort level is critical. See our docs on launching hybrid pricing models here.

This feature is available to all customers using Contracts. See docs here.
