Your team uses the Notion AI agent. Whose credits does it spend?

If a colleague builds a useful Notion agent and the whole team starts using it, I'd have the manager settle its funding before asking them to share it more widely. Under Notion's new system, a shared Custom Agent uses its owner's Select credits by default, even when colleagues run it. Those are included credits, not a charge to the employee's personal card. An admin can switch the agent to a workspace budget instead. The dates matter: Notion says the system started for new Business and Enterprise workspaces on October 19, with existing workspaces moving on November 2. Its guide also says Custom Agents created before November 2 continue drawing from shared workspace credits. Don't assume every existing agent is about to consume its maker's allowance. If the team's agent uses owner-funded credits, I'd check its Credit source together and ask the manager to fund the shared work. The person who found a useful shortcut shouldn't have to ration their own allowance to keep everyone else's routine running. This is a recommendation from the published rules, not an account test.

The owner can make that request inside the agent: open Credits, then Credit source → Owner allowance → Request workspace credits, and enter a proposed monthly budget. Notion's guide says the switch only happens after admin approval, so sending the request isn't the same as getting it funded. I'd do this while the manager has the agent open, rather than leave another message for someone to chase. That's the documented route, not a change I've tested in an account.
