A budget cycle controls how often the spending limit resets. You choose the cycle when creating a budget.

|---|---|---|---|
| One-time | Never — spend until depleted | — | All plans |
| Daily | Every day at 12am | — | Premium |
| Weekly | Every Monday at 12am | Choose any day (Premium) | All plans |
| Fortnightly | Every 2 weeks on your chosen day | Choose any day | Premium |
| Monthly | 1st of each month at 12am | Choose any day (Premium) | All plans |
One-time
A one-time budget doesn’t reset. Users spend until the amount is depleted. An admin can manually top it up if needed.
Important: A one-time budget cannot be converted to a recurring cycle later. Choose carefully when creating it.
Daily
The budget resets every day at 12am. Available on Premium plans only.
Weekly
The budget resets every Monday at 12am by default. Premium users can choose a different day of the week.
Fortnightly
The budget resets every two weeks on your chosen day at 12am. Available on Premium plans only.
Monthly
The most commonly used cycle. Resets on the 1st of each month at 12am by default. Premium users can choose a specific day of the month.
Carry-over
Each cycle type supports carry-over. When enabled, unspent balance rolls into the next period and the limit is added on top. When disabled, the balance resets to the full limit.
| Carry-over off | Carry-over on |
|---|---|
| Balance resets to the full limit each cycle | Unspent balance carries forward + limit is added |
