If you have pre-deposited funds, usage continues seamlessly at standard PAYG rates with no interruption. If you have no deposited funds, requests will return an error until you add funds or until your credits renew on the 1st of the following month. Note that unused free credits do not roll over.

To avoid interruptions, you can enable auto-recharge in your billing settings at [brightdata.com/cp/billing/settings](https://brightdata.com/cp/billing/settings).
