What happens when credits run out?
The next turn is refused until you top up or upgrade. Nothing already produced is lost, and the billing page warns before you reach the floor.
Credits are checked before each turn runs, so you are never billed past your balance. When the balance is too low to dispatch, the workspace asks you to top up or upgrade and the task waits; your files, tasks, and history stay exactly as they were. The billing page shows the remaining balance and warns as you approach the minimum.
