Every plan includes a monthly credit allocation. When you use it up, you can add more credits so your applications keep running without interruption. How you add credits depends on how you pay for your plan:
  • Card plans use autoscaling, which automatically purchases additional credits as you need them.
  • Crypto plans use prepaid credits, which you purchase manually in USDC.
Autoscaling requires a card on file, so it isn’t available on crypto plans.

​
Setting Up Autoscaling (Card Plans)

Autoscaling is configured on your Usage page:
  1. Go to your Usage page
  2. Find the Autoscaling spend card
  3. Click Manage (or Enable) and set your limit
Autoscaling is enabled by default on Business and Professional plans. See autoscaling limits for each plan’s cap.

​
Prepaid Credits (Crypto Plans)

Autoscaling requires a card on file, so it isn’t available on crypto plans. If you pay in USDC, top up with prepaid credits instead:
  1. Go to your Usage page
  2. On the Prepaid credits card, click Add credits
  3. Choose the amount and complete the purchase in USDC
Prepaid credits activate immediately and never expire. You keep them until they run out. For how to pay your plan in USDC and set up a wallet payment method, see Pay with Crypto.

​
Pricing for Additional Credits

Additional credits are priced at $5 per million credits across all plans. If you’re consistently going over your limit, consider upgrading your plan for higher credit allocations and unlimited autoscaling.

​
Notifications and Tracking Credit Usage

Helius keeps you informed about your credit usage to help manage your spend:
  • Email Alerts: You’ll receive notifications via email when you’re approaching your credit limits and when autoscaling occurs.
  • Dashboard Tracking: Check your current credit usage and historical data on the Usage page for detailed analytics.

​
Autoscaling Limits

Autoscaling has a maximum amount of additional credits it can purchase each month, which depends on your plan. You set your own limit up to that maximum on your Usage page. For more detailed information about plans, credits, and rate limits, please visit their respective pages.
