# Configuring a data access budget
A collaborator can view, add, edit, and delete a *data acccess budget* to set a limit on the number of times a table can be used in a workflow. Use these budgets to manage data and costs.
Each time a table is queried or a job is run using a ML input channel derived from a table, the budget for that table is reduced by one. When the budget reaches zero, the table can't be queried and ML jobs can't be run using ML input channels derived from the table.
You can establish a per period budget that refreshes periodically, a lifetime budget for overall usage, or both. By default, table usage is unlimited.
+ Per period budget – A renewable allocation that limits the amount of times this table can be used within a specified time period. You can set the period to daily, weekly, or monthly. This budget can be set to automatically refresh on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
+ Lifetime budget – A running allocation that limits the total amount of times this table can be used.
