Managing Budgets

The Budgets page lets you manage monthly advertising budgets for all your workspaces from one place.

Setting Budgets

1. Navigate to Billing > Budgets
2. Find the workspace you want to budget (use search to filter)
3. Enter the monthly budget amount
4. Click Save to create the subscription

When you save a budget, Flamel creates a Stripe subscription for that workspace. Stripe will automatically charge the workspace on each billing cycle.

Editing Budgets

To change a workspace's monthly budget:

1. Click the budget amount next to the workspace name
2. Enter the new amount
3. Save your changes

The Stripe subscription updates automatically. If you increase the budget mid-cycle, the workspace may receive a prorated charge for the difference.

Pausing and Resuming

You can temporarily pause billing for a workspace without losing the subscription:

• Pause: The workspace will not be charged on the next billing cycle. Their ads can continue running.
• Resume: Billing picks up on the next cycle at the same budget amount.

Use the action menu next to each workspace to pause or resume.

Canceling

Canceling a subscription permanently stops billing for that workspace. You will need to create a new subscription to restart billing.

Workspace Billing Status

The Budgets page shows each workspace's status at a glance:

Status	Meaning
Active	Subscription is running, workspace will be billed
Paused	Subscription is paused, no charges until resumed
Past Due	Payment failed on the last invoice
No Payment Method	Workspace has not added a payment method yet

Budget Requests

Workspaces can request budget increases. These appear in Billing > Budgets for you to approve or deny. When approved, the subscription updates automatically.

Playbook Allocations

When workspaces opt into playbooks with budgets, their committed spend is shown alongside their monthly budget. This helps you see how much of each workspace's budget is allocated to active playbooks.
