Automated Devin ACU Usage Budget Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Devin, reads the ACU usage your workspace sessions have run up in the current billing period, compares it against the budget you set, updates a Trello card with the running burn rate, and messages you on WhatsApp when the pace would exhaust the plan early.

In short

How do I track AI agent usage against my monthly budget?

Every morning WebRun opens Devin, reads how many ACUs your sessions have consumed this billing period, and compares the total against the budget you set. It updates a Trello card with the running burn rate and messages you on WhatsApp when the pace would exhaust the plan before the period ends.

  • You see the burn rate early in the month, not on the day it runs out
  • The projection is refreshed daily from live usage
  • The heaviest sessions are named, so runaway spend is easy to trace

Built for engineering leads · platform teams · CTOs · startup engineering managers

Questions, answered

Will it change my plan or stop a session?

No. WebRun only reads usage and reports it. Upgrading a plan, buying more capacity, or halting a running session all stay with you and never happen automatically.

When does it actually message me?

Only when the projected end of period total would pass your plan limit. On days when the pace is inside budget, WebRun updates the Trello card and stays quiet.

Can I see where the consumption went?

Yes. The Trello card lists the heaviest sessions of the period and who started them, so a single runaway session is easy to spot early.

Put this on autopilot.
