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
