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

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

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue, you need to convert the max_budget environment variable to a float.

Here are the steps:

• Update the config.yaml to use a template string that converts the environment variable to a float:

litellm_settings:
  max_budget: ${MAX_BUDGET:.0f}
  budget_duration: 30d

However, since the config.yaml does not support this conversion natively, you will need to modify the Python code that loads the configuration.

• Modify the proxy_server.py to convert the max_budget to a float before using it:

import os

# ...

max_budget = float(os.environ.get('MAX_BUDGET'))
litellm.max_budget = max_budget

# ...

Alternatively, you can also modify the config.yaml loading code to support environment variable conversion.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, restart LiteLLM and check the logs for any errors related to the max_budget configuration. You can also test the budget functionality to ensure it is working as expected.

Extra Tips

• Make sure to handle cases where the MAX_BUDGET environment variable is not set or is not a valid float.
• Consider adding input validation and error handling to ensure that the max_budget value is valid and can be converted to a float.
