Session limits let an application set an AI Credits budget for a Copilot session. Use sessionLimits when creating or resuming a session to set a soft cap for the current accounting window.
Set maxAiCredits to the AI Credits soft cap for the session's current accounting window. Usage is checked after model calls return, so one response can exceed the configured value before the runtime blocks the next model call. The SDK forwards this value to the Copilot CLI when it creates or resumes the session.
const session = await client.createSession({
onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
sessionLimits: {
maxAiCredits: 30,
},
});
const resumed = await client.resumeSession(session.sessionId, {
onPermissionRequest: approveAll,
sessionLimits: {
maxAiCredits: 30,
},
});
session = await client.create_session(
on_permission_request=PermissionHandler.approve_all,
session_limits={
"max_ai_credits": 30,
},
)
resumed = await client.resume_session(
session.session_id,
on_permission_request=PermissionHandler.approve_all,
session_limits={
"max_ai_credits": 30,
},
)
session, err := client.CreateSession(ctx, &copilot.SessionConfig{
OnPermissionRequest: copilot.PermissionHandler.ApproveAll,
SessionLimits: &rpc.SessionLimitsConfig{
MaxAiCredits: copilot.Float64(30),
},
})
resumed, err := client.ResumeSession(ctx, session.SessionID, &copilot.ResumeSessionConfig{
OnPermissionRequest: copilot.PermissionHandler.ApproveAll,
SessionLimits: &rpc.SessionLimitsConfig{
MaxAiCredits: copilot.Float64(30),
},
})
var session = await client.CreateSessionAsync(new SessionConfig
{
OnPermissionRequest = PermissionHandler.ApproveAll,
SessionLimits = new SessionLimitsConfig
{
MaxAiCredits = 30,
},
});
var resumed = await client.ResumeSessionAsync(session.SessionId, new ResumeSessionConfig
{
OnPermissionRequest = PermissionHandler.ApproveAll,
SessionLimits = new SessionLimitsConfig
{
MaxAiCredits = 30,
},
});
CopilotSession session = client
.createSession(new SessionConfig()
.setOnPermissionRequest(PermissionHandler.APPROVE_ALL)
.setSessionLimits(new SessionLimitsConfig(30.0)))
.get();
CopilotSession resumed = client
.resumeSession(session.getSessionId(), new ResumeSessionConfig()
.setOnPermissionRequest(PermissionHandler.APPROVE_ALL)
.setSessionLimits(new SessionLimitsConfig(30.0)))
.get();
let limits = SessionLimitsConfig {
max_ai_credits: Some(30.0),
};
let session = client
.create_session(
SessionConfig::new()
.approve_all_permissions()
.with_session_limits(limits.clone()),
)
.await?;
let resumed = client
.resume_session(
ResumeSessionConfig::new(session.id().clone())
.approve_all_permissions()
.with_session_limits(limits),
)
.await?;
Applications can subscribe to session events to update UI when the soft cap changes or the session reaches the exhausted-budget flow.
| Event type | When it is emitted | Important fields |
|---|---|---|
session.session_limits_changed | Active session limits changed. A null sessionLimits value means no limits are active. | sessionLimits.maxAiCredits? |
session.usage_checkpoint | The runtime records durable aggregate usage for resume and accounting. | totalNanoAiu, totalPremiumRequests? |
session_limits_exhausted.requested | The session reached the exhausted-budget flow and needs a user decision before continuing. | requestId, maxAiCredits, usedAiCredits |
session_limits_exhausted.completed | The exhausted-limit prompt was resolved. | requestId, response.action, response.additionalAiCredits?, response.maxAiCredits? |
Use the generated event types for the SDK language you are using. For example, TypeScript narrows by event.type:
session.on((event) => {
if (event.type === "session_limits_exhausted.requested") {
showBudgetDialog({
requestId: event.data.requestId,
maxAiCredits: event.data.maxAiCredits,
usedAiCredits: event.data.usedAiCredits,
});
}
});
