Billing and credits
Credit system
Understanding how Fireworks.ai billing, credits, and account suspension work.
Billing and credit usage
Q: How does billing and credit usage work?
Usage and billing operate through a tiered system:
- Each tier has a monthly usage limit, regardless of available credits.
- Once you reach your tier’s limit, service will be suspended even if you have remaining credits.
- Usage limits reset at the beginning of each month.
- Pre-purchased credits do not prevent additional charges once the limit is exceeded.
Account suspension
Q: Why might my account be suspended even with remaining credits?
Your account may be suspended due to several factors:
-
Monthly usage limits:
- Each tier includes a monthly usage limit, independent of any credits.
- Once you reach this limit, your service will be suspended, even if you have credits remaining.
- Usage limits automatically reset at the beginning of each month.
-
Billing structure:
- Pre-purchased credits do not prevent additional charges.
- You can exceed your pre-purchased credits and will be billed for any usage beyond that limit.
- Example: If you have
$20
in pre-purchased credits but incur$83
in usage, you will be billed for the$63
difference.
Missing credits
Q: I bought credits but don’t see them reflected in my account. Did they disappear?
Fireworks operates with a postpaid billing system where:
- Prepaid credits are instantly applied to any outstanding balance.
- Example: If you had a
$750
outstanding bill and added$500
in credits, your bill would reduce to$250
, with $0 remaining credits available for new usage.
To check your credit balance:
- Visit your billing dashboard.
- Review the “Credits” section.
- Check your current outstanding balance.
Note: Credits are always applied to any existing balance before being available for new usage.
