Team Plan

​

What is Team Plan

Team Plan is a flexible organization subscription that centralizes seats, compute resources, AI usage, and administration in CodeBanana. It allows organizations to manage:

• Customizable seat quantities
• Seat-specific VM configurations
• A shared Budget Balance
• Member on-demand limits
• Available models and reusable model templates
• Organization-level billing and usage records

Unlike individual plans, Team Plan AI usage is funded through a shared organization balance rather than a separate included token quota for each seat.

Usage Alerts

CodeBanana provides Team Plan usage alerts for member on-demand limits and the shared organization Budget Balance. Member on-demand limit

• A reminder is shown when a member’s remaining on-demand limit is 10% or less and no more than $10
• Each user receives this reminder at most once per day
• Reminders are evaluated independently for each user
• The user is asked to contact the organization Owner or Admin before usage is interrupted

Reminder text

You’re almost at your on-demand limit (% used). Reach out to your organization owner or admin to increase your limit before usage is interrupted.

Shared organization Budget Balance

• A reminder is shown when the remaining Budget Balance falls below 10%
• The reminder is intended for the organization Owner or Admin so the balance can be topped up in time

Reminder text

​

Admin Controls

Organization Owners and Admins can manage Team Plan configuration, members, billing behavior, models, limits, and VM resources.

​

Add members to Team Plan

When adding members, admins can:

• Filter organization members by department
• View available seats for each VM configuration
• Assign members to available seats
• Configure on-demand token limits
• Apply model permissions or model templates
• Adjust individual members separately when needed

Members must already belong to the organization before they can be added to Team Plan.

​

Billing mode

Billing Mode determines whose usage identity is used when AI costs are attributed inside the organization. Organization Owners and Admins can change the organization’s Billing Mode. Where to configure

1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner
2. Select Billing Mode
3. Choose a billing mode
4. Click Save

Available billing modes

• Owner Mode — Usage is attributed to the project Owner
• Presenter Mode — Usage is attributed to the current presenter based on their actual activity

​

Model templates

Team Plan admins can create reusable model configurations for different teams or types of work. A model template can define:

• Available models
• Model display order
• Default model
• Whether Auto mode is used as the default

Examples include:

• Product and engineering template
• Marketing and operations template
• Cost-controlled template

After a template is created, admins can apply it when adding members or managing existing members in Members & Quotas.

​

Model usage limits

Team Plan admins can control which AI models each member is allowed to use. Model template

• Go to Usage → Members & Quotas
• Find the Models column
• Create a model template

1. Per-member model limits

For each member, admins can select:

• All — all organization-available models
• Model template — a reusable model configuration created by the admin
• Selected models only — only individually selected models are available

Models outside the configured range are unavailable to that member.

2. Batch member management

Team Plan admins can manage multiple members at once from Members & Quotas. Admins can:

• Filter members by department based on the organization structure
• Select multiple members or use the top panel to set in bulk
• Apply available models or model templates

Filtering and visibility

• The Model Limits filter helps identify members with restricted model access
• The member table shows the model configuration applied to each member
• Unavailable models appear disabled in project model selectors

Restriction scope

• Model restrictions are applied at the member level
• If a restricted member creates a project:
  • If the billing mode is Owner Mode: everyone in that project can only use the models allowed under that member’s model configuration
  • If the billing mode is Presenter Mode: everyone in that project can use the models allowed under their own model configuration

​

Additional payment when seats are insufficient

If the required VM seat is unavailable, confirming the member configuration redirects the admin to the payment page. Payment can be completed through:

• Budget Balance, when the organization has sufficient balance
• Stripe, when additional payment is required

​

Member on-demand limits

Organization Owners and Admins can configure an independent on-demand limit for each Team Plan member. Admins can:

• Set limits while adding members
• Modify limits directly in Members & Quotas
• Configure multiple members in bulk
• Apply different limits to individual members

A member’s available AI usage depends on:

• Their configured on-demand limit
• The organization’s remaining Budget Balance

When the member approaches their limit, the Team Plan usage alert rules apply.

​

Modify member plans

Admins can manage:

• On-demand limits
• Model permissions
• VM configurations
• Team Plan membership

VM upgrades

• VM upgrades are supported
• Changes take effect after confirmation
• If an additional seat or payment is required, the admin is directed to the payment flow
• Payment can use Budget Balance when sufficient, or Stripe

VM downgrades

• VM downgrades are supported
• Each member can downgrade their VM configuration only once during an entitlement period

Remove member

• Admins can remove members from Team Plan
• The released seat becomes available for reassignment
• Removing a member does not automatically reduce the number of purchased seats

​

Billing management

Invoices are available from Personal Center → Billing.

​

Budget Balance

Budget Balance is the organization’s shared balance for Team Plan usage and management. It replaces the previous Token Balance name because the balance can now be used for more than AI token consumption. Budget Balance can be used for:

• Organization-wide AI usage
• Team Plan renewal
• Purchasing additional seats
• Upgrading member VM configurations

​

Top up Budget Balance

Organization Owners and Admins can top up Budget Balance from the Usage page. Available preset amounts include:

• $100
• $500
• $1,000
• $2,000

A custom amount can also be entered. The top-up panel shows:

• Current balance
• Top-up amount
• Balance after top-up

Budget Balance does not expire.

​

Add Seats

Organization Owners and Admins can purchase additional seats at any time from the Usage page. Additional seats can use different VM configurations, including:

• 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM
• 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM
• 8 vCPU / 16 GB RAM

Payment can be completed through:

• Budget Balance, when sufficient
• Stripe

Additional seats follow the current Team Plan expiration date. If a seat is added during an active Team Plan period, the seat fee is prorated based on the remaining time in the current period.

---

​

Renewal

Team Plan can be renewed from the Usage page by clicking Renew. During renewal, admins can:

• Select a validity period of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months
• Increase seats

The Usage page provides detailed records for organization seats and Budget Balance.

​

Seat details

Admins can view:

• Purchased seats by VM configuration
• Used seats
• Available seats
• Seat changes

Seat records help admins understand current capacity and decide when additional seats are required.

​

Budget history

Admins can review Budget Balance transactions and filter them by type, including:

• Top-up
• Team Plan renewal
• Additional seat purchase
• VM upgrade
• VM downgrade
• Refund or balance return

Income and expense records are visually distinguished to make balance changes easier to understand.

​

Transition Note

The updated Team Plan changes how existing Team Plan token benefits are managed. For existing Team Plan customers:

• Used Token in Plan and used Token Limit amounts are combined in the usage display
• Existing configured member Token Limits remain unchanged
• Unused Token in Plan balance is transferred to the organization’s Budget Balance
• The transferred balance becomes available to all Team Plan members
• The balance can also be used for renewal, additional seats, and VM upgrades

Existing Team Plan users retain the value of their unused benefits through this migration.
