Top up and control credit spend

Buy a one-time credit top-up, set a monthly spend, turn on auto-reload, and cap what a workspace can spend — all from the billing dashboard.

Credits are managed from one place: Settings → Billing. This guide covers buying credits and putting guardrails on spend.

Who this is for

Workspace admins with billing access. Buying credits and changing spend controls are admin actions.

The billing dashboard. Buy credits, set a monthly spend, and turn on auto-reload from the balance card at the top.

1. Buy a one-time top-up

Choose Buy credits and pick an amount. If you have a saved card the charge runs immediately and the credits land once payment is confirmed; a first-time payer is taken to a hosted checkout page. Top-up credits roll over rather than expiring at the month boundary.

2. Set a monthly spend

Choose Set monthly spend to decide an amount to spend each month; the matching credits are added to your balance automatically each cycle. You can change or stop it at any time.

3. Turn on auto-reload

Choose Auto-reload to buy more credits automatically when your balance drops below a threshold you set. This keeps long-running integrations from stalling on an empty balance.

4. Cap what the workspace can spend

Set a per-cycle spending cap so jobs can continue past your plan balance only up to a limit you control. Leave the cap unset and an empty balance simply stops new jobs with a 402 rather than spending more.

5. Release held credits

When jobs stall and hold their reservations, the Jobs view surfaces a banner to release all held credits at once. Releasing returns those credits to your balance; the held jobs are ended.

Edge cases

  • Credits are granted on payment, not on click. A top-up adds credits only once the payment is confirmed — a pending card shows no new balance yet.
  • Trial credits carry forward. If your workspace started on a trial grant, the remaining trial credits are added to your first paid plan, not discarded.
