Contracts & capacity

Contracts & capacity define what your organization is entitled to on X4RGE — plan type, monthly included allowance, product seats, and usage caps. Think of it as your plan ceiling: everything your admins configure in the dashboard stays at or below this entitlement.

Operators set contracts in the Console. You see the result on Usage as the Included bucket and in organization settings. You typically do not edit the contract yourself — but you do manage budgets and models inside it.

Commercial agreement first, house rules second

Contract = what your plan includes (set by X4RGE / your agreement). Budget = how strictly your admin caps spend inside that allowance on Usage.

Why contracts matter

For organization adminsFor platform operators
Included on Usage comes from your contractContracts are the commercial source of truth
You can't budget above entitlementUpgrades, renewals, and trials are applied here
License counts (cloud, Sentinel) reflect your planChanges should match CRM and billing records
Ask support if allowance looks wrongEvery change is audited with a reason

When a customer upgrades, renews, or starts a trial, operators update the contract — then org admins allocate that entitlement internally with budget policies.

How contracts show up for you

If you are an organization admin, you interact with contracts indirectly through Usage and settings — not through Console.

On Usage or settingsComes from contract
Included monthly allowanceYour plan's included spend entitlement
On-demand usageBeyond included — per your commercial terms
Cloud agent / Sentinel seatsProduct license counts on your plan
Run blocked at plan limitContract cap (operator must raise entitlement)
Run blocked by budgetYour admin's internal cap — may be below contract

Refresh Usage after a known plan change. If Included still does not match your agreement, contact your X4RGE operator or Help & support with your org name and expected allowance — see Governance for audit context.

What's in a contract

A contract is the commercial snapshot for your organization — not something you edit in the dashboard, but the fields below explain what you see reflected in product.

AreaWhat it means
Plan typeTrial, enterprise, or internal
Support tierCommunity, standard, priority, or dedicated support
Effective datesWhen the plan starts, optional end and renewal dates
Monthly allowanceIncluded spend shown on the org Usage page
Usage capsLimits such as monthly agent runs or concurrent cloud runs
Product seatsCloud agent, Sentinel, design, or other licensed products
Structure capsOptional limits on seats, teams, or projects

The monthly allowance powers the Included bucket on Usage. Org admins set budgets at or below that amount — never above.

Capacity vs org budget

Two layers control spend. Customers feel both — but only admins control the second layer.

Two layers

Think of the contract as your plan allowance. Budgets are house rules your admin sets inside that allowance — you can be stricter than the plan, not more generous without a contract change.

For organization admins

You do not edit contracts in Console. You do use what they enable every day:

  1. Check Included on Usage

    Open Usage. Included reflects your plan allowance; On-demand is beyond that.

  2. Set an internal budget

    In Settings or Usage, set a monthly cap at or below your allowance if you want stricter control.

  3. Curate models

    Model control only offers models your plan includes — disabling costly models saves allowance without changing the contract.

  4. If numbers look wrong

    Refresh Usage after a known plan change. If Included still doesn't match your agreement, contact your X4RGE operator or support with org name and expected allowance.

Run blocked?

Budget block — your admin may raise the internal cap on Usage if still under Included. Plan block — entitlement must change in Console; contact support or your account contact.

For platform operators

These steps are for Console users when agreements change — upgrades, renewals, trials, or corrections.

Operators update capacity when agreements change — mid-contract upgrades, trial extensions, or enterprise true-ups.

  1. Open the client

    In Console, go to Clients → select the organization → Contract.

  2. Review current usage

    Compare the org's Usage for the month against existing limits. Note whether this is upgrade, downgrade, or correction.

  3. Apply the update

    Set plan type, support tier, dates, allowance, and limits. Enter a clear reason (for example, "Q3 enterprise renewal — increased allowance").

  4. Confirm with the customer

    Ask the org admin to refresh Usage and verify Included and license counts updated.

  5. Align with finance

    Match the Console change to your CRM or billing record so support and finance stay in sync.

Note

Capacity changes take effect immediately for the organization and show in their usage view. Always record a reason — it appears in the audit log.

Trial to enterprise

A typical customer journey from pilot to paid plan — operators set entitlement at each phase; customer admins roll out GitHub, budgets, and models inside the new ceiling.

PhaseOperatorCustomer admin
Trial startTrial plan, modest allowance, end date in 14–30 daysConnect GitHub, run a smoke cloud agent
Trial mid-pointReview usage; extend end date if neededOptional internal budget on warn
ConversionEnterprise plan, higher limits, update datesSet team budgets within new ceiling
RenewalAdjust allowance for true-up; set renewal reminderNo action if already within entitlement
Downgrades

Lowering monthly allowance below what the org already consumed this month does not cancel runs in progress. Coordinate with the customer before downgrading mid-cycle.
