## Daily limits

| Loop | Max runs/day | Max tokens/day | Max sub-agent spawns/run |
|------|--------------|----------------|--------------------------|
| ${b.name} | ${b.maxRunsPerDay} | ${formatTokenCap(b.dailyCap)} | ${b.maxSpawnsL1} (L1) / ${b.maxSpawnsL2} (L2) |

## On budget exceed

1. Pause schedulers (\`scheduler_delete\` or disable automations)
2. Append event to \`loop-run-log.md\`
3. Notify human (Slack / issue / STATE.md High Priority)

## Kill switch

- Command or issue label: \`loop-pause-all\`
- Resume only after human clears the flag in STATE.md

## Estimate spend

\`\`\`bash
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-cost --pattern ${pattern}
\`\`\`
