172172Direct messages from members who have connected a Claude account don't draw from this balance. Such a DM runs on the sender's own claude.ai account and follows that seat's usual usage limits, so the organization spend limit doesn't apply to it. A [DM from a member who hasn't connected a Claude account](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#direct-messages-from-members-without-a-claude-account) can draw from this balance.

174To learn what your team's usage costs, run a pilot with a spend limit set and watch the per-channel breakdown on the [usage page in your admin settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag). Your organization may already have a [launch usage credit](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15575654-claude-tag-launch-promo-for-claude-team-and-enterprise) to run that pilot against before it funds the balance itself.
175
176The usage page doesn't count usage that a credit covers, so that usage shows as \$0.00 there. While the credit covers your pilot, watch the **List price** column of the **Spend by channel** table at [`claude.ai/analytics/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/analytics/claude-tag) instead. That column shows each channel's list-price spend for the current month, including covered usage.

178[Set a spend limit](/docs/claude-tag/admins/set-spend-limit) covers how to fund the balance on each plan, set the limit, and what happens when usage reaches it.

2424| Your plan | What you need to do here |
2525| :- | :- |
26| **Team** | **Required, before anything runs.** A Team plan has no usage balance until it's funded, and Claude won't respond in channels until it is. A [launch usage credit](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15575654-claude-tag-launch-promo-for-claude-team-and-enterprise) counts as a funded balance, so check for one before buying credits. Then set a spend limit. |

2727| **Enterprise (invoiced)** | **Recommended.** Usage bills to your invoice with no upper bound until you set a spend limit. Set one to cap exposure during the pilot. |

2626 | **Routines** enabled for your Claude organization | Until it is, Claude answers every mention and DM with a reply that it's unavailable and does no work. | An admin turns on [**Admin settings > Capabilities > Remote sessions > Routines**](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/capabilities) |
2727 | **Owner** role in the Claude organization you're setting up | Pairing a workspace is an Owner-only write. Roles are per organization, so being an Owner elsewhere doesn't carry over. | Ask an Owner to run setup, or have one promote you at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/members`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/members) |
2828 | A **Slack workspace admin** | Running `@Claude connect` requires a Slack workspace admin; installing the app usually does too. | If that's someone else, [send them the install request](#if-you-re-not-the-slack-workspace-admin) early (app approval can take time), and plan to be online together when you pair; pairing codes expire 15 minutes after they're issued |
29 | **Usage credits** (Team plans) | Channel work draws from your organization's usage balance; on a Team plan nothing runs until credits are loaded. | Check whether your organization has a [launch usage credit](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15575654-claude-tag-launch-promo-for-claude-team-and-enterprise) before buying; otherwise, buy credits at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/usage`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/usage) |

3030 | A **public channel** for Claude to join | The launch step asks you to select at least one public channel, and you can [verify your setup](#verify-your-setup) there. | Create a public Slack channel for the pilot, or pick any existing one |

111111* **Channel work**: draws from that balance, not from individual seats
112112* **Direct messages (DMs)**: DMs from members who have connected a Claude account run on the member's own claude.ai account and aren't capped by this limit. For members who haven't connected one, see [Direct messages from members without a Claude account](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#direct-messages-from-members-without-a-claude-account).
113* **Launch usage credit**: if your organization has a [launch usage credit](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15575654-claude-tag-launch-promo-for-claude-team-and-enterprise), the launch step shows the amount, with the date it runs through once the credit is active. After launch, the admin page shows the credit under **Included usage** with how much is used. You're billed for usage beyond it, up to the spend limit.
