PATCH /v1/sites/{siteId}/cdn/budget
Set this site's metered CDN spend ceiling.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the hosting.cdn.manage permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

Details
`cap_minor: 0` means **no per-site ceiling** — the account cap alone applies — and is the default. Any other value must be at least the platform minimum; a cap of a few cents is a site that pauses on its first visitor and reads as broken hosting rather than as a budget working. Raising the cap above what the site has already spent **resumes** it. Leaving it paused would require a second, undiscoverable action and would read as the setting not working. A site paused by staff is not resumed by this — that pause is not the customer's to lift. Requires `hosting.cdn.manage`.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |

siteId (path) | Uuid | Yes | Site ID (UUIDv7). |
Request body
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
cap_minor | integer | Yes | 0 for no per-site ceiling, otherwise at least the platform minimum. |
Response
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
cap_minor | integer | Yes | This site's ceiling in integer minor units. `0` means no per-site ceiling — the account cap alone applies. |
spent_period_minor | integer | Yes | — |
state | string<active, paused_cap, paused_standing, paused_admin> | Yes | Four states rather than a boolean, because the remedy differs: the customer's own cap is self-service, a standing lapse needs a payment, and a staff pause needs staff. |
paused_reason | string | No | — |
metered | boolean | Yes | Whether this site is on the tier that pays per gigabyte. |
serving | boolean | No | Whether the **metered** CDN is serving right now. Reads both this site's state and its account's, because either can pause it. ⛔ **Absent entirely when `metered` is `false`**, r… |
currency | string | No | ISO code denominating `cap_minor` and `spent_period_minor` (§2.8). ⛔ Absent when the org has not opened metered credit, because minor units without an exponent are unreadable: a… |
