Manage consumption costs#

Use Unity Build Automation to help you monitor and control your consumption costs effectively. Set limits and configure notifications so that you can stay within your budget and optimize your build workflows.

Build minutes monthly cap#

The build minutes monthly cap feature allows you to control your spending on build minutes across macOS and Windows builders. You can specify a dollar amount to restrict additional build usage beyond the set cap.

Set your monthly cap in the Unity Cloud Dashboard:

1. Navigate to Build Automation Settings > Build Consumption.
2. Enable the Build minutes monthly cap option.
3. Enter the dollar amount to set as your cap.
4. Save your changes.

Monthly cap reminder#

Enable the monthly cap reminder to receive email notifications as you approach your build minutes cap. This ensures you are informed before you exceed your set limits.

Set the monthly cap reminder in your Unity Cloud Dashboard:

1. Navigate to Build Automation Settings > Build Consumption.
2. Enable the Monthly cap reminder.
3. Specify the dollar amount at which you want to receive notifications.
4. Save your changes.

Concurrency cap#

The concurrency cap helps you manage the maximum number of concurrent builds you can run per day. Any builds that exceed the concurrency cap queue, which ensures controlled resource utilization and predictable costs.

Set the concurrency cap in your Unity Cloud Dashboard:

1. Navigate to Build Automation Settings > Build Consumption.
2. Under the Concurrency cap section, adjust the Concurrency field to the desired limit.
3. Save your changes.
