 - All company expenses (offsites, software/tool subscriptions, merch, etc.) will have common company-wide budgets.
 - You'll be assigned a single `User Limit` of $5,000 per month in Brex from which you can spend money on individual subscriptions, coworking/collaboration, equipment (except laptops and Mac Studio Monitors - ping `#team-people-and-ops` for these), training, etc. If you need an increase in the limit, request it on Brex.
   - The $5,000 is a ceiling, not a target or an allowance to use up – only spend what you can justify as being in PostHog's best interest.
+  - For a large one-off expense over $1,000, give your team lead a heads-up before you commit. It's a big cost and a quick check keeps it defensible.

 > If you find yourself needing to do extra travel outside of the regular things listed above, e.g. you've been asked to take a last minute trip to work on an emergency project, we may pay for a nicer seat here, especially if you are traveling at very short notice or long haul. Ask on [#team-people-and-ops](https://posthog.slack.com/archives/C017WDX3BFZ) if you think this may apply to you. This is intended for genuine one-offs, not where you've decided you'd like to come along to an extra offsite!
 - We strongly encourage team members to try and work together in person when practical. This isn't limited to just working with people in your team, but we expect that you have a reasonable reason you need to work together. You should default to doing this in SF/London, so you'll run into other PostHog people too.
 - If you're in the same place as other team members, even if you aren't directly working together, PostHog will cover the cost of a dinner or a fun activity
-- When visiting customers (or potential customers), we should look for opportunities to connect with them over a meal. These don't need to be extravagant, but they should be appropriate to the size and expectations of the customer. If you would be comfortable justifying the spend publicly in All Hands, you're probably fine.
+- When visiting customers (or potential customers), look for opportunities to connect with them over a meal. Be moderate with what you spend, and try to keep it appropriate to the size and expectations of the customer. A reasonable dinner is what we're after, not an open bar or a wild night out. If you would be comfortable justifying the spend publicly in All Hands, you're probably fine. 
   - For a normal customer visit (yourself or a couple of people), just use your personal budget and request an increase through Brex if you need more. If the visit grows into something offsite-like (the whole team, multiple days, etc.), post in [#team-people-and-ops](https://posthog.slack.com/archives/C017WDX3BFZ) and tag Kendal so she can create a separate budget for it.
