The Billing section in AI for Process helps you monitor expenses through detailed usage metrics and cost breakdowns. Track computational costs across workflows, models, guardrails, OCR models, and custom script deployments to make data-driven decisions about resource utilization.
Account Credits and Limits
New accounts receive the following free credits by default:
- 75 model credits — used for model inference and setting guardrails.
- 10,000 workflow runs — consumed when inferring workflows.
Once free credits are exhausted, you can no longer perform these actions. To continue using AI for Process services, contact AI for Process Support to add credits.
Accessing the Usage Page
- Log in to AI for Process and click Settings.
- On the left navigation pane, click Billing > Usage.
The Usage page displays the following tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|
| Overview | High-level summary of credit and run consumption with usage trends. |
| Workflows | Workflow activities and operational status. |
| Models | Computational costs for specific models. |
| Guardrails | Guardrail statistics and credit consumption. |
| Custom Scripts | Statistics and credit usage trends for deployed custom scripts. |
| OCR | OCR model deployments and credit consumption. |
| Browser Automation | Credit consumption for browser automation pod deployments. |
Use the Calendar bar on all tabs to filter usage by 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or a custom date range.
Quick Usage Check
A Clock icon on the top right of the page shows a real-time usage summary. Click it to view:
- Your unique Account ID. Click the Copy icon to share with support for account debugging.
- Credits — total allocation and remaining credits for models, guardrails, and custom scripts.
- Workflow Runs — total allocation and remaining runs for workflow automation.
Click Manage billing to open the detailed Usage page.
The icon’s color reflects your remaining balance:
| Color | Status | Credits remaining |
|---|
| Green | Good balance | More than 75% |
| Yellow/Orange | Moderate usage | 25-75% |
| Red | Low credits | Less than 25% |
| Triangle (warning) | Credits exhausted | None |
Alerts and Notifications
AI for Process sends alerts when credits are running low so you can take action before service is disrupted.
Banner Alerts
Banners appear at the top of the page in the following cases:
- Low credits or runs — A removable banner appears at 20%, 50%, 70%, 80%, and 90% credit exhaustion, encouraging you to top up or upgrade.
- Credits or runs expired — A fixed banner appears prompting you to upgrade or top up your plan.
- Free credits expired — A fixed banner appears prompting you to upgrade your plan.
Example: “Your model credits and workflow runs are low, and fine-tuning is disabled. Please contact AI for Process Support for uninterrupted service.”
Email Notifications
The system sends automated email notifications at 50%, 70%, 80%, and 90% credit exhaustion. Each email includes instructions on next steps, such as contacting support to add credits.
Example: “This is to inform you that your model credits are getting low. You cannot start a new model fine-tuning job unless you have more than 25 model credits. To ensure uninterrupted service, kindly top up your plan with more model credits or contact AI for Process Support.”
Usage Overview
The Overview tab summarizes expenses and consumption patterns across all resources:
- Runs — Workflow run usage against total allocation. For example, 45 out of 10,000 runs = 0.45% consumed.
- Credits — Credits used across models, guardrails, OCR, and custom scripts against total available credits. For example, 212 out of 300 credits = 70.72% consumed.
- Usage trend — Visual chart showing consumption over time. Use the calendar to view changes over a defined period.
A dynamic pie chart shows credit distribution by usage type (models, guardrails, OCR, and custom scripts). Each type is color-coded and labeled in the legend. Hover over the chart to see actual values.
Click the three-dots icon in the Overview tab to navigate directly to a specific usage tab.
Workflows Usage
The Workflows tab lists all workflows deployed at least once. In-development workflows are excluded.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Total workflows | Total number of workflows in the account. |
| Total runs | Total runs across all workflows. |
| Workflow name | Name of the workflow. |
| Runs | Number of times the workflow was inferred. |
| Owner Name | User who created the workflow. |
| Last active on | Date the workflow was last active. |
| Status | Workflow status: Deployed, Undeployed, or Deleted. |
Models Usage
The Models tab lists open-source and fine-tuned models with their computational costs for storing, fine-tuning, and hosting.
| Metric | Description |
|---|
| Total models | Total number of models in the account. |
| Total credits | Total credits used by all models, including all deployments. |
| Fine-tuning credits | Credits used for fine-tuning, based on training data size, model complexity, training epochs, hardware type, and other parameters. |
| Hosting credits | Credits for deploying and hosting models on GPUs. Each GPU instance is a “replica.” For example, one A100 GPU = one replica; two A100 GPUs = two replicas, charged at double the rate. |
Click a model record to view all its deployments. The following information is displayed:
- Name — Name given to the deployment.
- Type — Type of deployment.
- Credits used — Credits consumed by the deployment.
- Last updated on — Date of the last deployment.
- Status — Deployed, Undeployed, or Deleted.
Guardrails Usage
The Guardrails tab lists all guardrails and their hardware-based charges. Guardrail usage is deducted from Model credits shown in the Overview tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Total guardrails | Total guardrails used in the account. |
| Total credits | Total credits used by all guardrails. |
| Time | Total duration all guardrails were deployed. |

Credit behavior when credits are low:
- New guardrail deployments are disabled when credits fall below the lowest threshold.
- An active deployment continues and proceeds into negative credits if the low credit limit is reached mid-deployment.
- Once the negative credit limit is crossed, the deployment stops with the message: “You’ve used all your available credits. Please add more credits to your account to continue.”
- Negative credits are adjusted in the next billing cycle.
- When no credits exist, further deployments are disabled and all active deployments stop when the negative credit limit is reached.

Click a row to open a right-side panel showing:
- The guardrail name.
- Hardware — CPU type, number of CPUs, usage duration, and credits used.
- Total — Total credits used for the hardware.
Email Notifications
Billing emails for guardrails cover credit usage, negative threshold breaches, and potential deployment interruptions.
