Credits
Credits are the platform’s unit of usage measurement. In SaaS mode, your organization uses credits as sandboxes run. Credits are shared across all members of the organization.
How credits work
Section titled “How credits work”Credits are consumed in real time while sandboxes are active. Usage is recorded automatically so you can track spend and remaining balance.
| Event | What happens |
|---|---|
| Sandbox keepalive | Credits are deducted based on runtime since the last deduction |
| Sandbox pause/stop | A final deduction is recorded |
| Balance reaches zero | All running sandboxes are terminated |
Purchasing and balance
Section titled “Purchasing and balance”Organizations receive an initial credit allocation at signup and can purchase additional credits through Stripe. Each purchase increases the shared org balance.
Transaction types
Section titled “Transaction types”| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Signup allocation | Initial credits granted at org creation |
| Purchase | Stripe-backed credit purchase |
| Usage | Runtime deductions from sandbox activity |
| Admin adjustment | Manual credit changes by platform operators |
Deployment modes
