Fix billing, credit, and spend-limit problems
Resolve billing problems: usage or credits that will not load, a spend gate that keeps pausing work, a plan or limit that looks wrong, or a charge you cannot reconcile.
Purpose
Diagnose and clear the common reasons billing data will not load, a spend gate keeps pausing work, or a plan, limit, or charge looks wrong.
Who this is for
Owners and billing admins whose billing data, credits, or spend gates are not behaving as expected.
Prerequisites
- Permission to view billing for the workspace.
- The name of the workspace or plan with the problem.
- A workspace owner or billing admin for changes such as adding credits or adjusting limits.
Steps
- Open Billing and note whether usage, credits, or the plan summary is the part that looks wrong.
- If usage or credits will not load, confirm you have billing permission and refresh the tenant billing summary.
- If a spend gate keeps pausing work, check the credit balance and add credits or ask an admin to review the limit.
- If the plan or limit looks wrong, remember catalog and plan changes need the billing backend and do not update from a notification alone.
- If a charge or AI unit total is unclear, compare it with your usage for the period.
- If it still does not reconcile, contact support with the workspace and period.
Expected result
You can tell whether the problem is permission, credits, a spend gate, or a backend-only change, and work resumes once credits or limits are in order.
Verification
- The billing summary loads usage, AI units, and credit balance after the fix.
- Adding credits clears a spend gate that was pausing work.
- A plan or limit change only shows after the billing backend confirms it.
If something goes wrong
- Billing data stays blank
- Confirm billing permission; tenant members may need an owner or billing admin to view or share it.
- Work keeps pausing despite added credits
- Confirm the credits posted to the balance and that a separate limit is not also reached, then retry.
- A plan change does not take effect
- Plan and catalog changes need backend confirmation; wait for the persisted change rather than relying on a notification.
Permissions
Viewing billing is available to billing-capable roles; adding credits and changing plans or limits needs a workspace owner or billing admin and backend confirmation.
