# Spending Controls

### How does Spending Controls work?

Spending Controls allows customers to set their own limits or take a break, the limits cannot be changed and they will be blocked from purchasing tickets if they exceed their spending limits.

Here is an example of the spending controls shown in the My Account page for customers that are logged in.
