Replit Keeps Published Apps Running When Credits Run Out
ReplitReplit now lets eligible top-up customers keep published apps running at zero credits, up to an overage limit. Paid Agent pauses while Free mode stays available, and warning emails arrive before suspension. New credits repay the overage first.
Key Takeaways
- Eligible top-up customers can keep published apps running at zero credits, up to an overage limit.
- Paid Agent pauses at zero credits, but Free mode stays available.
- Warning emails are sent before an app is suspended.
- New credits repay the overage first, before being available for new usage.
- The change protects live apps from sudden downtime tied to credit balance.
- Eligibility is limited to top-up customers, so not every plan benefits.
No More Sudden Downtime at Zero Credits
Replit changed how billing behaves when credits are exhausted. Eligible customers who use top-ups can keep their published apps running even after their credits hit zero, up to an overage limit. This reduces the risk of a live app going offline simply because a credit balance ran out.
What Happens to Agent
Running at zero credits applies to published apps. Paid Agent usage pauses, while Free mode remains available so users can still work. Replit sends warning emails before any suspension, giving users time to act.
How the Overage Is Repaid
Overage is not forgiven. When new credits arrive, they are applied to the overage first, and only the remainder is available for new usage. Users should keep this in mind when topping up after dipping into overage.
