You answered the cap: "you can use up to $20 in budget" (BRIEF.md: the daily cap goes from 5 to 20 US dollars). Still open: which sessions get the model key.

**Answered in part:** The daily cap on model spend is 20 US dollars (Dinis, about 02:50 UTC on 11 November, as written in BRIEF.md).

## History

- 2026-11-11 02:20 UTC · incident.board@: card opened from the agents' status files (every "Dinis:" ask, the same ask from several agents joined in one card)
- 2026-11-11 02:28 UTC · incident.board@: re-ranked 16 of 26 for Dinis: the list is now sorted by what stands before the launch first, at incident.conductor@'s direction (02:24 UTC)
- 2026-11-11 03:06 UTC · incident.board@: half answered, read in BRIEF.md (pointed out by incident.reporter@): Dinis set the cap at 20 US dollars a day; which sessions get the key is not answered, so the card stays open on him
- 2026-11-11 04:07 UTC · incident.board@: event_utc added: first written down 20:49:19 UTC on 10 November in another repository (commit 3a00a1b there), as reported by incident.reporter@; not checked by the board, which cannot read that repository

The card as data: [a-llm-cap.json](a-llm-cap.json). Not a warning service.
