The Budgets and alerts page lets you set credit usage thresholds so you’re notified before you approach or exceed your allowance. Only Billing Admins and Super Admins can see this page and configure budgets. To open it:
  1. In your Maia hub account, click your profile in the bottom-left corner.
  2. Click Budgets and alerts.
The page has two tabs: Account and Projects.
Budgets do not restrict or block usage. Pipelines, jobs, and Maia continue to run normally even after a budget is exceeded. The only effect of crossing a budget threshold is an alert.

​
Account budgets

The Account tab tracks total credit consumption across every project in your Maia account.

​
Annual budget

The Annual budget card tracks your credit consumption over your current term. A term is the period covered by the credits you purchased under your contract with Matillion. The length of the term depends on your agreement—for example, 12 or 24 months—so a term isn’t always a single year. The thresholds you set apply from the term start to the term end. At the top of the card, you can see your Credit allowance for term, Term start, and Term end, which are read-only values pulled from your contract. You can set up to two percentage-based thresholds on your credit allowance for the term. When your consumption reaches a threshold, Maia sends a notification to alert you. The Warning and Critical values must be different from each other. Under each field, Maia shows the number of credits at which the threshold is reached.
  • Warning: The first alert point.
  • Critical: The second alert point, intended for a higher level of urgency.
To set annual budget thresholds:
  1. Click … in the top-right corner of the Annual budget card.
  2. Click the edit thresholds option.
  3. Enter a whole number between 1 and 100 in the Warning and Critical fields. The value represents the percentage of your total credit allowance at which you want to be notified.
  4. Click Save.

​
Projects budgets

A project budget lets you allocate part of your account’s credit allowance to one or more individual projects—how much you allocate is up to you—with threshold notifications when consumption approaches that limit. The Projects tab shows a table of all existing project budgets. You can sort the table by any column, and use the search bar to filter by project name. Each row shows:
  • Project: The project the budget applies to.
  • Annual budget: The project’s credit allowance for the current term.
  • Annual thresholds: The two threshold levels at which the annual budget’s notifications fire, shown as percentages.

​
Add a project budget

  1. Click Add project budget in the top-right corner of the Projects tab.
  2. In the Add project budget dialog, click the Projects drop-down and select one or more projects. Select Select All to apply the budget to every project in your account.
  3. In the Annual section’s Budget field, enter the total credit allowance to apply to each selected project.
  4. In the Annual section’s Warning and Critical fields, enter a whole number between 1 and 100. Each value represents the percentage of the annual budget at which you want to be notified. For example, entering 70 triggers a notification when 70% of the annual budget has been consumed.
  5. Click Add.
The Add button remains inactive until all required fields are filled in.

​
Edit a project budget

  1. In the project budget table, click … at the end of the row you want to update.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. In the Edit project budget dialog, update the Annual section’s Budget, Warning, or Critical values as needed. The Projects field is locked and can’t be changed once a budget has been created.
  4. Click Update.

​
Delete a project budget

  1. In the project budget table, click … at the end of the row you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

​
Billing notifications

When your credit consumption crosses a threshold—whether for an account-level or project-level budget—Maia sends a billing notification. A notification is scoped to the account or to a specific project. Notifications are managed on the Billing tab of the Notifications page—click Manage notifications in the top-right corner of this page to get there. Delivery channels (email, Slack, or webhook) are configured per user; recipients aren’t set here.

​
Add notifications directly

Click Add notifications in the top-right corner of this page to go straight to the Add billing notification page—the same page you’d reach from the Notifications page:
  1. Select Account budget thresholds for contract consumption to configure a notification for your account budget, and/or select one or more projects from the Project drop-down. Only projects that already have a budget configured on this page appear in the Project drop-down—you can’t create a notification for a project until you’ve set its budget.
  2. Under How do you want to receive this notification?, select one or more channels: Email, Slack, or Webhook.
  3. Click Save.
If the selected account or project already has a notification configured, it’s replaced with the new settings you define here.
