# Configuring consumption controls

> Consumption controls let Organization Administrators and Tenant Administrators define what happens when a tenant's unit consumption reaches critical thresholds. Two types of controls are available: per-service automatic stoppage when consumption reaches 100%, and consumption notifications that alert at fixed thresholds.

Consumption controls let Organization Administrators and Tenant Administrators define what happens when a tenant's unit consumption reaches critical thresholds. Two types of controls are available: per-service automatic stoppage when consumption reaches 100%, and consumption notifications that alert at fixed thresholds.

## Prerequisites

- You must be an Organization Administrator or a Tenant Administrator for the tenant you are configuring.

## Configuring Stop Usage

The **Stop Usage** card in the **Consumption Controls** section shows how many services are currently configured to stop consuming units automatically when the tenant reaches 100% of its allocated units. For example, **3/4 services** means enforcement is enabled for three out of four eligible services on that tenant.

To configure which services stop at the tenant limit:

1. Go to **Admin** at the organization level and select **Licenses**.
2. Select the **Consumables** tab.
3. On the unit type card, select **View Usage** or **View Usage (Preview)**.
4. In the **Tenant Allocations** section, select **View Tenant** on the relevant tenant card.
5. Scroll to the **Consumption Controls** section.
6. Next to **Stop Usage**, select the edit icon.

   The **Allocation enforcement** dialog opens. For configuration steps, see [Configure tenant consumption enforcement](configure-tenant-consumption-enforcement.md).

## Configuring consumption notifications

The **Notifications** link in the Consumption Controls section opens the licensing notification preferences for your user account at a tenant level.
To subscribe to or unsubscribe from licensing consumption notifications:

1. Go to **Admin** at the organization level and select **Licenses**.
2. Select the **Consumables** tab.
3. On the unit type card, select **View Usage (Preview)**.
4. In the **Tenant Allocations** section, select **View Tenant** on the relevant tenant card.
5. Scroll to the **Consumption Controls** section.
6. Under **Notifications**, select the **Notifications** link.

   The **Preferences** page opens in a new browser tab, at **Preferences > Notifications > Licensing**.

7. Select or deselect the toggle next to the notification events you want to receive.

The following fixed consumption thresholds are available for unit type notifications:

- 50% consumption (severity: Info)
- 75% consumption (severity: Info)
- 95% consumption (severity: Warn)

Notifications are delivered in-app and by email. Thresholds cannot be customized and are the same for all unit types and all tenants in the organization.

For the full list of notification events and severity levels, see [Licensing notifications](https://docs.uipath.com/test-cloud/automation-cloud/latest/admin-guide/licensing-notifications).
