Credits
Understand how credits reduce Kupe Cloud charges before payment is taken.
How credits work
Section titled “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 appliedIf credits cover the full subtotal, nothing is charged to your card for that invoice. Any unused balance carries forward to the next billing period. Tax is applied by Paddle only on the amount actually charged.
Where to check credits
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
