Notes

Budget enforcement is POST-HOC (checked after each run, not before). This matches Paperclip's proven approach: check SUM(cost) after run, pause if exceeded. No pre-run reservation needed.

Cost estimation uses token counts × published pricing. For accurate cost data, organizations can use the Admin API: /v1/organizations/cost_report (requires Admin API key: sk-ant-admin...).

For headless runs, use claude -p --max-budget-usd N as a per-run cap.
