# Check resource billing eligibility

POST https://api.ibee.co.in/v1/billing/resource-eligibility
Content-Type: application/json

Returns a point-in-time eligibility decision from the same existing billing service used by the portal. Call it before a billable create and continue only when `allowed` is exactly `true`. This check does not reserve funds, create a resource, or guarantee that a later product operation will succeed. Requires scope: billing.read.
