Allowance & Credits

Tulsk gives you a monthly allowance of agent activity that resets each billing cycle, plus an overtime credit wallet for the months you go bigger.

How It Works

Your plan allowance refills on your billing anniversary. Unused allowance does not roll over.

🔄Allowance Resets Monthly

Top-up credits you don’t use stay in your wallet indefinitely.

💰Credits Roll Over

Agent runs consume allowance before touching your credit balance.

🥇Allowance Spent First

Running low? You’ll see warnings at 75% and 90%. At 100% you tap into credits seamlessly.

🟢No Surprise Blocks

The Allowance Bar

At the top of the Billing page you’ll see a horizontal bar filling up as the month progresses:

Color	Meaning
Blue	Under 75% used — all good.
Amber	75%–100% — consider top-up or optimize agent runs.
Red	Over 100% — you’re now spending from credits.

The bar also shows the reset date so you know how long until the next refill.

The allowance is workspace-wide, not per-user. If one teammate runs a big job, it shows up on the shared bar.

Overtime Credits

When your allowance is exhausted, agent runs draw from the credit wallet. Credits are pre-purchased in bundles from the Billing page.

Buying Credits

Click Top Up on the Credit Wallet card.
Pick a bundle — the UI shows how many typical agent tasks each bundle buys.
Pay via Stripe Checkout.
The balance updates immediately; credits are available for the next run.

How Credits Are Spent

Each agent run records input/output tokens and computes the cost in cents. That cost is deducted from your allowance first, then from credits if allowance is depleted.

Token costs vary by model and task complexity. See Usage for the breakdown of what a “typical” run actually costs.

Spending Alerts

You’ll get in-app notifications at:

75% allowance — heads-up, you’re burning through faster than usual.
100% allowance — you’re now on credits.
Credits at 20% of last top-up — consider refilling.

Notifications go to owners and admins. Configure delivery channel in Settings.

Per-Agent Budget Caps

For fine-grained cost control, set a monthly budget per agent (in cents) with an action:

Action	What it does when budget hits 100%
WARN	Notifies you; agent keeps running.
PAUSE	Queues further runs until next month.
BLOCK	Rejects any new runs immediately.

Configure from each agent’s Costs page. See Agents → Triggers & Schedules.

Per-agent budgets are separate from the workspace allowance. An agent can still hit its own cap even if the workspace allowance has room.
