Asana AI Studio Mid-Loop Kill Switch And External Credit Circuit Breaker That Halts Runaway Rules Before They Eat The Month's Budget

saas real project •• multiple requests

Asana AI Studio rules can loop on themselves and burn 4 million credits in a single month or 10% of a month's budget in 90 seconds. Users say they can only delete a runaway rule, not pause it, and the credit-limit notification only fires at 100% not 50%. Independent dashboards are needed that poll the Admin Console, kill rules at a configurable threshold, and predict per-rule monthly cost before deploy.

builder note

Sell this to Asana Solutions Partners (Bastien's iDO got hit themselves — they'd buy it for client warning). Don't build inside Asana — they'd kill it. Build a polling-only external dashboard with API-driven rule-disable + Slack page when the credit-burn rate exceeds N/hour. Same shape will resell to Notion AI Custom Agents and Salesforce Agentforce Flex Credit overrun.

Asana's response so far is 'monitor your dashboard,' not 'enforce a budget.' The community has been asking for an actions-per-rule cap, a 50% notification, and a mid-loop kill since at least October 2025. Open feature requests, no shipped fix.

Asana Admin Console Digital Wallet / usage dashboard Read-only — you can see usage but cannot set a hard cap that halts rules at, say, 70% of monthly credits. Notifications only fire when you've already burned through enough to matter.
Asana native rule disable Disabling a rule has user-perceived latency; loops keep firing during the window. June_LCG reported deleting was the only option because pausing didn't actually stop in-flight executions.
