Pay only for what you run

It is the sum of the recurring credits of everything you are running that month — each website, machine, gigabyte and database, at the credit price it was created at. There is no plan fee and no minimum on top of that, so running less costs less and running nothing costs nothing.

Recurring credits pay for things that keep existing: a website, a VM, storage, a database. Each one charges its credits when you create it and again every month you keep it, and stops the moment you delete it. One-time credits are a balance you buy outright and spend once — AI generation is what draws on them today. They never renew, never expire and are never returned, so they are only ever spent by something you asked for.

Never. Bought credits stay in your balance until something spends them, and there is no monthly reset to lose them to.

Nothing is deleted. A monthly charge that cannot be paid puts that resource into a grace period — it keeps running for a week while we email you. Add credits in that window and nothing is interrupted; if the window passes, the resource is suspended until you top up, and everything it is made of is kept. You can also switch on automatic top-up, with a monthly spending cap you set.

It stops renewing immediately, so you are never charged for it again. The month you have already paid for is not refunded — it simply runs out.

Yes, at any time. Adding storage or resizing a machine upward charges the difference pro-rated over the days left in that resource's month, so a change on day 28 costs two days of it rather than a full one. Scaling down lowers the next monthly charge.

Yes. The credit cost of every resource comes from the same catalog the billing engine charges from, so the figure you see while building is the figure that leaves your balance.
