# Configure token usage limits for AI columns (Beta)

This documentation describes one or more public beta features that are in development. Beta features are subject to quick, iterative changes; therefore the current user experience in the Sigma service can differ from the information provided in this page.

This page should not be considered official published documentation until Sigma removes this notice and the beta flag on the corresponding feature(s) in the Sigma service. For the full beta feature disclaimer, see [Beta features](/docs/sigma-product-releases#beta-features).

Admins can configure monthly token usage limits for their organization to limit [AI column](/docs/create-ai-columns) usage costs.

This document covers how to configure token usage limits for individual connections. For more information on AI columns, see [Create AI columns](/docs/create-ai-columns).

The use of AI features is subject to the following [disclaimer](/docs/notice-for-enabling-ai-enabled-features-in-sigma).

## User requirements

You must be assigned the Admin [account type](/docs/create-and-manage-account-types).

## Configure token usage limits

You can set monthly token usage limits for individual connections. Usage from all users in your organization counts toward these limits. If no token limit is set, the default limit is 10 million tokens per connection per month.

Token usage limits are enforced based on usage estimates and are not exact. Actual consumption may exceed the limit. Usage estimates do not account for varying costs by model. Check your data platform for the most accurate information on usage and cost.

To configure token usage limits for AI columns:

1. Go to **Administration** > **AI settings**.
2. Select the **AI columns** tab.
3. Select **Edit**.

Only connections that you can create AI columns on are displayed. See [Create AI columns](/docs/create-ai-columns#system-and-user-requirements) for more information on connection requirements.

4. Edit your desired **Token limit per month**, then press **Enter** on your keyboard.
5. Select **Save**.
