Billing & credits

​

Understand the metrics

• AI credits cover actions that use Fimo’s AI features. Your available balance can include monthly, purchased, and awarded credits. Each agent run shows the credits it consumed in the runs list and on its run page.
• Bandwidth measures data served from your published sites to visitors, from every origin Fimo uses. It is one all-inclusive meter: requests, image optimization, server functions, and builds are inside it. See Bandwidth, hosting, and fair use.
• Schedule compute measures the actual elapsed runtime of command schedules, including commands that are currently running.
• Agent-hours measure the actual elapsed runtime of autonomous agent runs, including runs that are currently active. Manual, scheduled, and webhook agent runs all count. Interactive chat and schedule compute are counted separately.

​

Hosting usage and the extra usage budget

​

One budget, both meters

• On Free, extra usage is not available and the budget row says so. When the included bandwidth runs out, Fimo pauses public serving of your published sites until the next billing period. Studio, your content, and your assets stay fully available the whole time.
• On Pay-as-you-go and Pro, extra usage is off by default. An organization billing admin turns it on with Set up extra usage and a monthly budget. Bandwidth beyond the included amount is then billed per GB and agent runtime beyond the included hours per hour, on your monthly invoice, up to the budget and never beyond it. No budget means extra usage stays off, never unlimited spending.
• Any remaining included bandwidth and agent hours stay usable after the budget is spent. Published sites pause once their included bandwidth and paid budget are exhausted; autonomous agents stop once their included hours and paid budget are exhausted. Raising the budget or starting a new billing period restores the corresponding allowance.
• If you already had a budget from before agent runtime shared it, it keeps covering bandwidth only. The billing page says so, and the budget covers agent runtime only after a billing admin confirms it in the editor.
• If agent runtime cannot be billed on your account right now, Fimo says so rather than implying the budget already covers it.
• After a plan change, check Extra usage. If the new plan has no funded extra usage, a billing admin must enable it again.

​

Agent-hours and paid extra hours

• Each supported plan includes agent-hours per billing period. After those hours run out, autonomous runs can use the available extra usage budget. Without one, new runs wait and running agents are asked to stop at a safe point.
• On Free, paid extra hours are not available, and the Agents area says so without quoting a cost.
• Paid extra hours come out of the shared extra usage budget, so they need no limit of their own. Lowering the budget later does not remove charges already accepted.
• Paid extra hours pause while the organization is leaving its paid plan, while the billing plan cannot be read, or while the budget does not cover agent runtime. The Agents area names the reason. Paid runs also require billing to be available; remaining included hours stay usable.
• A run is recorded once, using the billing period, included hours and paid usage settings in effect when it ends. If bandwidth has used the remaining budget before the run finishes, Fimo absorbs the difference. Runs ending with paid usage disabled or an uncertain duration are not billed. Previously completed runs are not charged retroactively.
• The cost shown for extra hours is Fimo’s own estimate from accepted runtime and the plan’s hourly rate, not an invoice figure. When there is no estimate, the Agents area says Unknown rather than showing a zero.

​

Buy credits

• Free plans cannot buy credits. Move to a paid plan first.
• Credit prices depend on the active plan. You can still buy credits while a cancellation is scheduled and your paid plan remains active. If the price changes while the purchase dialog is open, Fimo shows the new total and asks you to confirm again rather than charging a price you did not see.

Change your plan

• Moving up a plan (Free or Pay-as-you-go to Pro, Free to Pay-as-you-go) takes effect as soon as the payment succeeds. Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee, but it needs a valid card on file.
• Moving down from a paid monthly plan (Pro to Pay-as-you-go, Pro to Free) takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. Before anything is sent, a confirmation names your current plan, the plan taking over, and the date, and states that automatic spending stops now, that your current benefits stay until that date, and that usage you have already run stays billable. Until that date you keep your current plan, its allowances, and its limits. The billing page names the plan taking over and the date it does.
• Changed your mind? The billing page offers a Keep button naming your current plan. Choose it any time before that date and the scheduled change is dropped. While the change is scheduled, the Auto-refill and Extra usage cards read Off and cannot be edited; after you keep the plan they stay off until you turn each one on again.
• Moving down stops automatic spending immediately, whichever plan you move to. Leaving Pro for Pay-as-you-go stops auto-refill and paid extra usage exactly as cancelling to Free does, from the moment you ask. You keep your current benefits, remaining allowances, credits, and reset date until the change takes effect. You can still choose to buy credits yourself while your paid plan is active. If spending shutdown is pending, Fimo retries it automatically. Usage from before the change can still be invoiced.
• Switching between Free and Pay-as-you-go keeps the date. If you have already scheduled one and pick the other before it takes effect, the date and the moment automatic spending stopped both stay where they were. Nothing is re-granted and nothing is charged again.
• Keeping your plan removes the scheduled change, but leaves automatic spending off. You can immediately turn auto-refill and paid extra usage back on independently from Billing. While a change is scheduled, you cannot enable them. Usage from the time paid extra usage was off does not become billable when you enable it again.

​

Pay an unpaid invoice

1. As an organization owner, open your organization billing page and choose Pay invoice. Admins can view Billing but should ask an owner to handle payment. Members cannot open Billing.
2. Choose Pay invoice. The invoice opens on our billing provider’s secure page in a new tab, where you pay with a card. Fimo never collects card details itself.
3. Come back to Fimo. The page checks with the billing provider when you return; choose Check again if you want to check right away.
4. Once the invoice is settled, choose Change plan and pick Pro or Pay-as-you-go as usual.

• Adding or replacing a card does not pay the invoice. Only a payment on the invoice page does.
• Several unpaid invoices show the oldest one first, with a count. Open billing portal lists all of them.
• Paying does not change your plan. You stay on Free until you explicitly choose a paid plan again, and auto-refill and paid bandwidth stay off until you turn them back on.
• If Fimo cannot reach the billing provider, the page says We could not check your invoices instead of guessing. Nothing is charged; choose Check again or open the billing portal.
• Payment method and Invoices stay available to owners on the Free plan, so you can manage your card and see past invoices at any time.
