A minimum that includes usage
If you did not run services, host static files or reserve volumes all month, you pay €0. If you had any of these and account usage is €3, you pay €5. If it reaches €12, you pay €12. The minimum applies once a month to the whole account, not to each service.
Top up manually or automatically
Add credit and usage is deducted as you go. Auto top-up lets you choose a threshold and an amount: for example, add €20 when credit falls below €10. If a top-up fails, we let you know and keep services running temporarily while you resolve the payment. If that period ends with no credit, they pause.
Estimate with your schedule
In the simulator, adjust resources, replicas, active hours and storage. The average depends on how long you assume maximum replicas run. The range is indicative and does not enforce a spending limit.
