Auto top-up — never run out of credits mid-pipeline

Save a card, set a low-water threshold and a refill amount, and let makesPDF top up your credits automatically.

Running an automated pipeline on API credits meant watching your balance and manually buying more before it hit zero. Now you don't have to. Once you've bought Growth credits (which saves your card), you can turn on auto top-up from Settings → Billing.

Set two things: a threshold (top up when your balance falls below this many credits) and a refill amount (how many credits to add each time — any whole dollar amount in the Growth range, at the same 125 credits per dollar as manual top-ups). When a render drops you below the threshold, we charge your saved card off-session and add the credits — no interruption, no manual step.

For teams that want a guardrail, set an optional monthly spend cap. Auto top-up pauses for the rest of the calendar month once the cap is reached (your existing credits keep working) and we email you so nothing happens silently. It resumes automatically next month, or as soon as you raise the cap.

If a charge is ever declined, we email you right away and keep your card details out of it — and after a few consecutive failures we pause auto top-up so a dead card doesn't get retried forever. Fix the card, flip it back on, and you're set.
