litellm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Error when configuring max budget with an environment variable [1 participants]

File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/litellm/proxy/proxy_server.py", line 923, in proxy_startup_event

if prisma_client is not None and litellm.max_budget > 0:

                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

TL;DR

The error can likely be fixed by converting the litellm.max_budget value to an integer before comparing it with an integer.

Guidance

• Verify that the MAX_BUDGET environment variable is being set correctly and is an integer.
• Check the config.yaml file to ensure that litellm_settings.max_budget is being set to the value of the MAX_BUDGET environment variable.
• Consider adding a type conversion to ensure litellm.max_budget is an integer, e.g., int(litellm.max_budget).
• Review the code to ensure that litellm.max_budget is not being overwritten or modified elsewhere.

Example

if prisma_client is not None and int(litellm.max_budget) > 0:

Notes

This fix assumes that litellm.max_budget is intended to be an integer. If it can be a string, additional error handling may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: convert litellm.max_budget to an integer before comparison, as shown in the example code snippet. This should resolve the TypeError issue.
