Logs every paid-API call by department and warns before the monthly budget runs out.
What it is
Several projects call paid APIs. The Accounting project keeps a ledger of each call by department, compares it with a monthly budget, and warns at 80%. A weekly check runs on Mondays.
How it fits together
Details
The budget for October is set at $20 for the whole company.
A warning is sent before any call that would push spending past the limit.
Costs are estimated from the usage figures the APIs return.
