Running out of credits
What Gini does when the balance reaches zero, and how to top up without a surprise on the invoice.
Nothing is added to your bill on its own. That's the important sentence, and it's why running low is an inconvenience rather than a surprise invoice.
What happens
Gini tells you in the channel when the balance is getting low, and again when it's gone. Work stops until you top up.
If a run was in progress when the balance ran out, Gini stops and says where it got to. It doesn't half-finish something and post it as though it were done.
Topping up
Buy more from app.ginicomputer.com → Usage, or email team@ginicomputer.com. Credits are available immediately and any stopped work can be picked up in the thread.
No auto top-up by default
Team stays $500 unless you choose otherwise. We'd rather you hit a wall and make a decision than discover a month later that the bill quietly grew.
Routines while you're empty
They don't run, and they say so in their channel at the time they should have. Once you top up, they resume on the next scheduled run.
If you need a missed one, ask in the channel: "@Gini run the Monday report now".
If you run out most months
That's worth a conversation rather than a monthly top-up. We'll reach out, but you can get ahead of it: book a call or email team@ginicomputer.com. Volume pricing usually works out better than repeated top-ups.
Running out consistently is normally a good sign. It means people are using it.
Cutting usage instead
If you'd rather trim than buy:
Find the expensive routine. app.ginicomputer.com → Usage. There's almost always one job that's a disproportionate share, and often it's one that grew rather than one that was always big.
Move daily routines to weekly. Five times cheaper. Ask whether anyone acted on yesterday's.
Delete routines nobody reads. The honest test is whether anyone would notice.
Narrow the scope of the big ones. Most of the cost is how much Gini has to read.
How credits work has the full cost model.
Free plan
10,000 credits, and they're not a monthly allowance: they're what you get to try it. When they're gone, upgrading to Team is the way to keep going. Plans.
