Introducing: hard limits for platform usage
New
Console
Apify's billing system is a combination of your pre-paid plan and overage, which allows you to consume more platform resources if necessary. This way, you can exceed your pre-paid plan without having to upgrade to a more expensive one.
Say, you're on the $49/month Personal plan but, in reality, you use around $200 worth of credits per month. But let's say your maximum budget is $300 per month and you really can't afford for some accident to push you past that.
Well, rest easy! You can now set a limit on your platform usage to avoid accidental charges that exceed your budget 💰
In addition, your usage is now displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen, so you can always keep an eye on it 👀
To adjust your usage limit, head over to the Limits tab in your Apify account's Billing section.
