What happens when I finish my $1 credit?

When you finish your $1 credit, the following occurs:

​

Account Status

• Without payment method: Your account will be suspended until you add a payment method
• With payment method: You can continue using the service with usage-based billing

​

Billing Structure

• Usage-based billing: You’re billed at the end of the month for actual usage
• Spend limits: You can incur bills up to your configured spend limit
• Default limit: $50/month for new accounts (increases based on historical spend)

​

Payment Method Requirements

• Adding a payment method is required to continue service after credit depletion
• The spend limit is determined by your configured limit and maximum allowed usage based on your spending history
• As you spend more with Fireworks, your allowed usage limits increase

​

Monthly Pricing

• The $50/month pricing refers to the spend limit, not a fixed monthly fee
• You only pay for what you actually use
• Your bill is calculated based on your actual API usage throughout the month
