When you reach your monthly credit limit in SuperCool, you will see a message prompting you to upgrade or enable Pay As You Go.

This usually appears right after generating content or using features that consume credits. You can also access it manually at any time.


How to Access Pay As You Go

You can find this setting in two ways.

  1. Automatic prompt: When you run out of credits, a message will appear asking you to enable Pay As You Go.

  2. Manual access
    Click your profile image in the top right corner, then click Billing & Settings.

This is where you can turn Pay As You Go on or off.


What Pay As You Go Actually Is

Pay As You Go is a backup system that keeps your account running after you reach your monthly credit limit.

Instead of stopping your activity, SuperCool automatically adds additional credits so you can continue using features without interruption.

You are only charged when these additional credits are added.


How It Works

When Pay As You Go is enabled, you will use your normal monthly credits first. Once you reach your limit, extra credits are added automatically, and you are charged per additional credit batch.

For example, twenty dollars gives you four thousand additional credits.

This only happens after your included credits are fully used.


Important Clarification

Pay As You Go does not preload your account with credits in advance. It only activates after your credits run out, and charges are applied at that moment.

This means you are not paying up front; you are only paying when additional usage happens.


Why This Exists

Without Pay As You Go, your work stops when you hit your limit. Content generation pauses, agents stop running, and ads are no longer promoted. With it enabled, everything continues running in the background without interruption.


When You Should Use It

Pay As You Go is useful if you are actively using the platform, running agents, creating content frequently, or do not want your work to stop.

It keeps your workflows consistent.


When You Might Not Need It

You may not need it if you use SuperCool occasionally, stay within your monthly credits, or prefer strict control over spending.


Pro Tip: Use It as a Safety Net

Think of Pay As You Go as a backup, not your main plan.

You may not use it often, but when you hit your limit, it prevents everything from stopping.
