The workflow

How it works in practice

1

Set a Claude budget and let pace-to-forecast warn you mid-month.

2

Anomaly detection adds same-day alerts on model mix, context, and token spikes.

3

Alerts arrive via Slack, email, or webhook for incident routing.

Real scenarios

When this use case fires

A workflow silently moves to Opus and doubles cost

A long-context path raises tokens-per-request

Spend trends over budget mid-month

An agent loop spikes requests overnight

Anthropic's native alerting is limited and fires after spend has happened.

A move to Opus or a long-context workflow can raise daily spend fast.

Teams want the alert in Slack with the driver called out.
