Credits

Credits reduce what you pay. They are applied automatically before payment is taken and are visible both in the current-period estimate and in completed invoices.

How credits work

• credits are applied against the invoice subtotal
• the applied amount is capped at the subtotal for that invoice
• any unused balance carries forward to later billing periods

In simple terms:

net charge = subtotal - credits applied

If credits cover the full subtotal, there is no remaining charge for that invoice beyond any later adjustments such as tax or a future billing period.

Where to check credits

In the console:

• the Remaining Credits card on the Billing page shows your current balance
• invoice history shows how much credit was applied to each completed invoice

What credits do not change

Credits only reduce the amount you pay. They do not:

• increase your plan limits
• increase your resource pool
• increase your observability allowance
• bypass downgrade checks or plan restrictions
