Track Gateway credit spend

The Gateway credits tab in the Cloud admin dashboard shows your balance, your spend over time, and your top-up history. To open it, go to the Cloud admin dashboard and select the Gateway credits tab.

You can also see your current balance in the editor, next to the Gateway credits option on supported nodes.

Balance

The balance card shows your remaining credit, including how much of your free sign-up credit is left. If you're on a paid plan, you can top up from here. Refer to Top up Gateway credits for details.

Spend

The spend chart shows how your credit usage breaks down over time. You can:

• Change the time range to see recent or longer-term usage.

• Group spend by model or service, to see which providers cost the most.

• Group spend by workflow, to see which of your workflows consume the most credit.

Grouping by workflow helps you find a workflow that's spending more than you expect, for example one that calls a model on a frequent schedule.

Top-up history

The top-up history lists every credit added to your balance: your free sign-up credit, manual top-ups, and auto top-ups. Each entry shows the amount, the date, and when those credits expire. Refunded top-ups stay in the list, marked as refunded.

If your balance dipped below zero because n8n let in-flight requests finish, the overspent amount is deducted from your next top-up and shown here. Refer to Overspend for details.

Notifications

n8n emails the instance owner about balance changes:

• When your balance runs low, so you can top up before workflows stop.

• When your balance is empty.

• When an auto top-up adds credit, fails to charge your payment method, or pauses because it reached your monthly limit.

When your balance runs out

When your balance reaches zero, nodes using Gateway credits fail until you add credit. Executions that don't use Gateway credits keep running as normal.

• On a paid plan, top up your balance or set up auto top-up to avoid interruptions.

• On a free trial, top-ups aren't available: upgrade to a paid plan to add more credit.

• On any plan, you can switch the affected nodes to your own credentials. Refer to Use Gateway credits for how to switch.
