How billing will work
Early access accounts are configured manually so we can protect customers from runaway spend and protect the gateway from abuse.
1. Prepaid credits
Teams buy credits or receive an approved trial allocation before production usage begins.
2. Hard limits
Credits, API keys, teams, and routes can be capped to prevent accidental or malicious overspend.
3. Usage export
Customers can review request volume, model routes, estimated costs, and billing events.
