+- **Search Sites**: When enabled, the assistant can search specified external sites for additional information.
+
+**Spend limit**
+
+Set a spend limit to control what happens if you reach your message allowance. By default, the assistant will continue to answer user questions after you reach your message allowance, which incurs overages.
+
+In the **Billing** tab of the [Assistant Configurations](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/assistant/settings) page, you can set a spend limit for assistant messages beyond your allowance. When you reach your spend limit, the assistant is disabled until your message allowance resets.
+
+You can also set usage alerts to receive an email when you reach a certain percentage of your spend limit.
