Billing is built on two ideas: a subscription grants a monthly credit allowance, and top-ups add one-time credits. Both feed the same ledger you can audit line by line.
How credits work
- Subscription credits refresh with each billing cycle.
- Top-up credits are added once and never expire while billing is active.
- Every grant and spend is recorded as an immutable ledger entry.
- Balances can never go negative — concurrent spends are safe.
Use case
Pick the right plan size
- Goal
- Avoid both throttling and overpaying.
- Scenario
- You expect heavy usage for two weeks, then a quiet period.
Steps
- 1Start on the plan matching your steady usage.
- 2Buy a one-time top-up for the heavy weeks instead of upgrading.
- 3Watch the balance in Billing; upgrade only if the pattern repeats monthly.
Outcome
Pay for spikes once, keep the subscription lean.
