# What happens if I exceed my budget?

You can still **create and book campaigns** even if you exceed your available budget,
but **reimbursement will not be created and no reimbursement will be paid** for the amount over budget.

### How this works in practice

If your campaign cost exceeds your available budget:
* ✅ You can book and run the campaign in the platform
* ❌ No reimbursement request will be created for the over-budget amount
* ❌ The brand will **not reimburse** costs beyond your allocated budget
This applies especially to **online campaigns**.

### What is reimbursed vs not reimbursed

* **Within budget:** eligible for reimbursement
* **Over budget:** not eligible for reimbursement
The platform does not block campaign creation, but it **protects the brand from over-spending**.

### Important to know

* Budget limits apply **only to reimbursement**, not campaign creation
* Exceeding budget does not generate errors or warnings in all cases
* Channel Partners are responsible for monitoring their available budget
* Over-budget costs are your responsibility

### How to avoid exceeding your budget

* Check **My Budget** before booking campaigns
* Review the **Remaining balance**
* Monitor requested and pending amounts
