Lovable: Email Warning Before Credits Run Out
LovableLovable now emails workspace admins and owners when credits are projected to run out before the monthly refill. The email gives the estimated run-out date and the refill date, so admins can add credits in time. It is based on recent Run credits usage and skipped when auto top-up is active.
Key Takeaways
- The email predicts the run-out date, rather than only reporting a low balance, so admins see the problem before it happens.
- Both the run-out date and the refill date are included, which shows how long the gap is and how much to top up.
- The estimate is based on recent Run credits usage, not building credits, so it tracks what published apps consume.
- The email is sent only when run-out is at least a day before refill and once per change in projection, which limits noise.
- It ignores email preferences, so owners and admins cannot accidentally mute this warning.
- Auto top-up suppresses the warning, and teams wanting a custom threshold can use Usage limits & alerts instead.
A Heads-Up Before Credits Run Out
Lovable now sends an email to workspace admins and owners when the workspace's credits may run out before the monthly refill. The message includes the estimated run-out date and the refill date, so admins can top up before work stops rather than discovering an empty balance mid-project.
How the Warning Is Triggered
Lovable bases the estimate on recent Run credits usage, meaning credits spent running apps rather than credits spent building. The email is only sent when the expected run-out date is at least a day before the refill. Lovable sends one email each time the projection changes from lasting until the refill to running out before it, which avoids repeated reminders for the same situation.
What Admins Should Know
The email is sent regardless of email preferences, so it cannot be switched off through notification settings. It does not apply when auto top-up is enabled and not paused, because credits are then replenished automatically. On Pro and Business plans, admins and owners also see an in-product warning on Plans & credit usage and in Usage details, showing the run-out date, the refill date and a top-up option.
Related Alerts
Lovable also emails admins and owners when a card declines an auto top-up charge, and when credits added this month reach the monthly spend limit. Teams that want a warning at a specific balance can set a low-balance alert under Usage limits & alerts.
