 ## Prerequisites
 
 * Before making changes, download a usage report to see which developers are frequently hitting the limit or using a significant number of requests over the allowance. You may want to contact these users to understand their use cases and requirements. See [Downloading a monthly usage report](/copilot/how-tos/monitoring-your-copilot-usage-and-entitlements#downloading-a-monthly-usage-report).
 * If a user receives licenses from multiple enterprises or standalone organizations, the user must select a billing entity to use premium requests. See [Managing premium request billing with multiple {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licenses](/copilot/managing-copilot/monitoring-usage-and-entitlements/monitoring-your-copilot-usage-and-entitlements#managing-premium-request-billing-with-multiple-copilot-licenses).
 
-## Changing the budget for all members
+## Setting a policy for paid usage
+
+By default, premium requests over the allowance are enabled for organizations and enterprises. This allows for uninterrupted use of premium requests, unless you have a budget that caps spending on the Premium Request SKU.
+
+You can set the policy for an enterprise or a standalone organization.
 
-To enable premium requests over the allowance for everyone, you can:
+1. Navigate to the policy settings for your enterprise or organization. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-for-enterprise/manage-enterprise-policies) or [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-for-organization/manage-policies).
+1. Next to "Premium request paid usage", select the policy for your organization or enterprise.
 
-* Delete the default $0 budget to allow **unlimited spending on premium requests** for all users.
-* Edit the "Budget amount" of the default $0 budget to set **a non-zero total spending limit** for premium requests in your enterprise.
+## Updating budgets

+1. Ensure the "Premium request paid usage" policy is enabled. See [Setting a policy for paid usage](#setting-a-policy-for-paid-usage).
