📊Prepaid Credits and Autoscaling

Running low on credits mid-cycle? Helius makes it easy to keep your projects running smoothly by allowing you to purchase additional prepaid credits or automatically scale your usage.

How to Get Additional Credits

If your credits run out during your billing cycle, you can get more credits by either purchasing prepaid credits if you paid via crypto, or enabling autoscaling if you paid by card.

1. Prepaid Credits (Crypto Plans)

If you're on a Crypto Plan, you can quickly purchase additional prepaid credits directly from your Helius Dashboard:

• Log into your Helius Dashboard.

• Select Buy More Credits.

• Complete the purchase with your preferred crypto payment method.

Prepaid credits activate immediately and never expire—you keep them until they run out.

2. Autoscaling (Card Payment Plans)

Autoscaling automatically adds credits as you use them, ensuring uninterrupted service:

• Go to your Helius Dashboard and select your project.

• Navigate to Project Settings.

• Enable the Autoscaling toggle.

Once enabled, Helius will automatically allocate more credits as your usage increases.

Note: Autoscaling is capped for Developer and Business plans to help manage costs and avoid unexpected charges. If you require unlimited autoscaling, consider upgrading to the Professional plan.
