1113A session budget is an optional hard spend ceiling you set when you [create a session](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/sessions). The platform continuously prices everything the session consumes at public list rates (the session's **list cost**) and stops issuing new model requests once that cost reaches the budget. The request in flight when the cap is crossed still finishes, so the final list cost can land [a fraction past the budget](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/budgets#when-a-session-reaches-its-budget). A session at its budget pauses and goes [idle](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/session-operations#session-statuses) rather than terminating; changing or removing the budget resumes its work automatically. Deployments accept the same budget and apply it to each session they start; see [Budgets on deployments](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/budgets#budgets-on-deployments).
