Amazon Braket introduces spending limits feature for quantum processing units

Amazon Braket

Amazon Braket now supports spending limits, enabling customers to set spending caps on quantum processing units (QPUs) to manage costs. With spending limits, customers can define maximum spending thresholds on a per-device basis, and Amazon Braket automatically validates each task submission doesn't exceed the pre-configured limits. Tasks that would exceed remaining budgets are rejected before creation.

Spending limits are particularly valuable for research institutions managing quantum computing budgets across multiple users, for educational environments preventing accidental overspending during coursework, and for development teams experimenting with quantum algorithms. Customers can update or delete spending limits at any time as their requirements change.

Spending limits apply only to on-demand tasks on quantum processing units and do not include costs for simulators, notebook instances, hybrid jobs, or tasks created during Braket Direct reservations.

What to do

• Visit the Spending limits page in the Amazon Braket console.
• Read the launch blog post.
