Settings

Cost controls, backend preferences, run limits, and credit overview. Settings apply locally in the current session. Real persistence and enforcement are not yet implemented.

Cost Control

Cost-Safe Mode

When enabled, prevents any run that could incur real costs. Disable only when AWS Braket integration is live and you have confirmed pricing.

Cost-safe mode is ON by default. This blocks any run that could incur real costs — including all external simulators. This is the recommended setting until real pricing is configured and you explicitly opt in.

Backend Preferences

Default Backend

The backend selected by default when opening the composer or submitting new workloads.

Require Simulator Before QPU

Require all circuits to pass a simulator run before being submitted to a QPU. Helps catch errors before consuming QPU time.

Disable Real Hardware

Globally disables submission to any physical QPU backend. Useful during development to prevent accidental QPU usage.

External hardware access remains disabled until ALL of these conditions are met: (1) cost-safe mode is OFF, (2) Disable Real Hardware is OFF, (3) Require Simulator First is satisfied by a prior local run, (4) external service credentials are configured, and (5) sufficient credits exist. Currently none of these are configured.

Run Limits

Max Shots Per Run

Maximum shots allowed per circuit run. Higher shot counts increase runtime and potential costs.

10,000

Free local simulator limit

1,000 shots

Managed simulator limit

5,000 shots

QPU limit (when available)

500 shots

Daily run limit

50 runs

Credits

Credit Balance

0

No credits configured. Credits are required for managed simulator and QPU runs. Local simulator runs are always free.

Settings are applied locally in the current session only. Real settings persistence, cloud sync, cost enforcement, and billing are not yet implemented. Credit balance is stored in browser localStorage and will be replaced by server-side credit management when billing integration is complete.
