Understand spend and capacity

Use Account → Usage to investigate consumption and Account → Limits to understand the capabilities and resource capacity available to your account. These are separate from Billing and credits, which manages funding and spend policy.

Review usage

  1. Open Account → Usage in the intended account.
  2. Review the daily credit-spend chart for the current billing period.
  3. Inspect usage categories and ledger events to identify the source of consumption.
  4. Compare relevant entries with worker Activity and Tasks.
A worker’s quote explains its pricing terms; a usage entry records consumption. An estimated monthly quote does not include every possible usage-based charge.

Review account limits

Open Account → Limits to see:
  • Your current tier.
  • Capacity for account resources, such as workers, document stores, and channels.
  • Which capabilities are included or restricted.
  • Requirements for an upgrade or downgrade.
Use the values displayed for your account rather than assuming all accounts have the same allowances. Resource limits can prevent creation even when the account has credits.

Change tier

Review the proposed tier’s capabilities and capacity before confirming. If a downgrade would exceed the target tier’s capacity, follow the displayed requirements for resolving excess resources. Read the confirmation carefully: available downgrade controls can take effect immediately. Before removing a resource to meet a limit, check its assignments and dependencies. Deleting a worker or store is not equivalent to temporarily pausing it.
A tier change is not a purchase of unlimited usage, and adding credits is not a tier upgrade. Check funding, spend controls, and capability eligibility separately.

Troubleshoot a blocked operation

After fixing the cause, inspect the original task or request before retrying to avoid repeating actions that already succeeded.
