Two views: runway vs. history
The Overview tab answers “how long will my credits last?”; the Usage tab answers “where did they go?” Both live on the Billing page.

Read the Credit Runway widget
On Billing → Overview, the Credit Runway widget forecasts how many days or months of sending your credits will cover at your current burn rate, and flags tight or danger states with a top-up button. Before you've sent anything, it prompts you to start sending campaigns first.
- 3
Understand the runway states
Four states — healthy, comfortable, tight, and danger — compare your forecasted runway against your plan's renewal date, shown as a “Plan renews in N days” line.
- 4
Check your balance breakdown
Your total balance is org (plan) credits plus top-up credits. Top-ups add straight into the same pool as your plan's monthly grant.
- 5
Open the Usage tab & pick a range
Go to Billing → Usage and use the date-range preset filter. Figures shown are net of refunds, and timestamps are in UTC.
- 6
Read the breakdowns
Summary cards for Total Consumed, Daily Average, and Action Types, plus a daily consumption chart and a by-action-type chart. Two tables — By Campaign and By Workspace — show you exactly where credits are going.
- 7
Export to CSV
Export the full dataset — history, by-action, or by-campaign — for finance review or deeper analysis outside the app.
Pro tips
Hard-won shortcuts that keep warm-up on track.
Runway is gross spend, refunds excluded
A refund-heavy week won't make it look like you've stopped spending — the forecast tracks your gross burn rate.
Tight or danger means act now
Both states mean you'll likely run out before renewal — the widget's Top up credits button is the one-click fix.
Usage numbers are UTC and net of refunds
If a number looks off versus your local day, that's the timezone, not a bug.
Use By Campaign to spot the biggest consumer
One runaway campaign can burn most of a workspace's credits before you notice — check this table before the whole balance drains.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I see how long my credits will last?
Billing → Overview → Credit Runway widget.
Why does the runway say Start sending campaigns…?
There's no usage yet — the forecast needs a burn rate to calculate runway from.
What do healthy/comfortable/tight/danger mean?
Forecast bands comparing your runway to your renewal date. Tight and danger prompt a top-up.
What's the difference between org credits and top-up credits?
Org credits are your plan's monthly grant; top-up credits are one-off purchases. Both add into a single total balance.
Why don't the usage numbers match my local calendar?
They're shown in UTC and net of refunds.
Can I see usage per campaign or workspace?
Yes — the Usage tab has By Campaign and By Workspace tables.
Can I export my usage?
Yes — CSV export for history, by-action, or by-campaign.
The date range says charts are clamped — why?
Very wide ranges show only the most recent window in charts; use the CSV export if you need the full all-time record.
