# bead extra start admission

> Enable or disable bead extra start admission and understand which admission checks still apply.

Enable bead extra start admission to opt in to charged starts beyond your organization's normal start allowance. It requires admin authority.

## Read the policy

```bash theme={null}
bead limits
```

Inspect `burst_enabled` and the effective policy's `burst_multiple` and `burst_units`. The catalog at `GET /v1/pricing` is the live source for published policy and pricing. Read the catalog’s unit metadata when interpreting ledger amounts.

## Enable or disable

```bash theme={null}
bead burst true
bead limits
```

Disable future paid burst admission with:

```bash theme={null}
bead burst false
```

The native operation is `PUT /billing/burst` with `{"enabled":true}` or `{"enabled":false}`.

## What consent changes

Burst consent permits extra starts within the effective policy's burst multiple. Each admitted extra start is charged once. It does not create credit, reserve capacity in advance, or remove concurrency, shape, batch, request, or free-trial restrictions.

Organization funds and any applicable key budget must cover the extra charge and the machine's funding reservation. If the request still fails, read the returned limit and `next_action` rather than repeatedly submitting it.

See [Limits and availability](https://docs.bead.run/platform/limits.md) and [Prepaid credit](https://docs.bead.run/platform/prepaid-credit.md).
