Usage warnings and overage billing

    How RenderBeam warns you about usage and bills overages so you're never surprised.

    Updated 5/4/2026

    Proactive emails

    We watch usage daily and email you before a bill surprises you:

    • 80% used — heads-up email with one-click upgrade link.
    • 95% used — last-call email if overages are off.
    • Overage started — fires the first time you cross your base plan into metered territory.
    • Cap reached — fires when your personal overage cap is hit.

    Overages

    Paid plans (5K trial-Starter excluded) bill overages at $1.25 per 1,000 renders, on top of the base subscription. Overages are off by default — you must opt in under Plans → Overage preferences.

    Hard cap protection

    The system enforces a hard ceiling at 100% of your base plan to prevent runaway bills, even with overages enabled. Need more? Upgrade to the next tier.

    In-app indicators

    The top-nav usage indicator and Dashboard show your current % used, projected end-of-period total, and remaining quota in real time.
