How does Auto-pay work?
Auto-pay automatically recharges your account when your balance falls below a specified threshold. When triggered, it charges your card to bring your balance back to a predetermined amount. Auto-pay is recommended for production environments to prevent service interruptions.
Example
If you set:
- Whenever my balance falls below: $25
- Bring my balance back to: $50
When your balance of $26 drops to $21 after a $5 charge, auto-pay will add $29 to reach your $50 target balance.
When your balance hits $0 without auto-pay, your API access is restricted until you add funds.
Enable auto-pay and maintain a healthy balance to ensure uninterrupted API access. Set your threshold based on your typical monthly usage to avoid frequent small charges.
You can also disable auto-pay at any time through your account settings.
