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.
