How Does the Credit Limit Work
Credit limit defines the maximum debt amount allowed for VNIS service usage. When consumption exceeds this threshold, the system automatically triggers billing processes.
Each plan has a default credit limit.
Please refer to the current VNIS pricing page for up-to-date credit limit information by plan.
The system evaluates plan consumption and paid-tier feature usage hourly, recording consumption costs as debt. Monitor debt status against credit limits using the Billing info tracker located in the side panel of the Overview page.

When Unbilled debt exceeds the Credit limit, the billing system automatically generates expenses and processes account charges.
Credit Limit Example
Consider a Developer plan account (USD 0/month) with the following hourly consumption: 500GB CDN traffic, 300k CDN requests, and USD 10 remaining free credit.
Consumption Calculation
The system calculates total consumption and records it against the credit limit.
CDN Traffic tier-cost:
0 - 5GB: USD 0.00 (Free-tier for Developer plan)
5GB-10TB: USD 0.18 / GB
CDN Request tier-cost:
0- 200k: USD 0.00 (Free-tier for Developer plan)
200k: $0.10 / 10k requests
Consumption cost:
CDN traffic: (500GB - 5.00GB) * USD 0.18 / GB = USD 89.10
CDN request: (300k - 200k) * USD 0.10 / 10k = USD 1.00
Total debt:
USD 89.10 + USD 1.00 - USD 10.00 = USD 80.10
Credit Limit Comparison
The system compares total debt against the credit limit threshold.
Developer Plan Credit Limit: USD 50.00
Since total debt exceeds the credit limit (USD 80.10 > USD 50.00), the billing system processes automatic charges. Payment failures result in temporary service suspension until successful payment completion.
