# Auto Recharge

> Automatically buy credits when your balance falls below a threshold, so API calls don't fail when credits run out.

Use Auto Recharge to automatically purchase credits when your balance falls below a set threshold. If your organization runs out of credits, API calls fail with a `402` (Payment Required) status until you add more; Auto Recharge keeps a working balance so that doesn't happen.

Auto Recharge is available on the **Explore** and **Team** plans. It is enabled by default on **Team** plans and disabled by default on the **Explore** plan. To get an email about consumption instead of purchasing automatically, set a [credit usage alert](./credit-alerts).

## Set the Right Threshold

Set your threshold high enough to cover your largest expected API call. If your threshold is too low, Auto Recharge may not trigger before your balance is exhausted, and the API call will return a `402` status (Payment Required).

For example, if a typical job consumes 1,500 credits, set your threshold above 1,500 credits.

## Manage Auto Recharge

1. Log in to [https://ade.landing.ai](https://ade.landing.ai).
2. Go to the **Plan & Billing** page (to navigate there manually, click your profile icon at the bottom left corner of the page and click **Plan & Billing**).
3. If you're not currently in the correct organization, select your organization from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the **Plan** tab.
5. Click **Add Credits**. (If you're on the **Explore** plan, click **Buy Credits**.)
6. If Auto Recharge is not already enabled, turn on **Enable Auto Recharge**.
7. In the **When credit balance goes below** field, enter the threshold that will trigger Auto Recharge.

   For example, entering 5,000 means credits are purchased automatically when your balance reaches 5,000 or fewer.

   By default, this is 10% of the credits allocated for your billing cycle.
8. In the **Add to** field, enter the number of credits you want to purchase.

   By default, this is 100% of the credits allocated for your billing cycle.
9. Click **Next** and follow the on-screen prompts.
