Nowing DocsUsage & Credits
Workspace credit dashboards, spend budgets, and per-tenant quota management
Usage & Credits
Nowing tracks usage and credits per workspace so teams can monitor spend, set budgets, and avoid surprise overages.
Credit system
Nowing uses a credit ledger for metered operations:
- Scraper calls
- Model calls
- Knowledge base searches
- Connector syncs
- Automation runs
- Subagent invocations
- Storage
Credits are deducted in real time as operations run. The ledger records every transaction with a reason, timestamp, and cost.
Usage dashboard
The Usage page in your workspace shows:
- Current credit balance
- Daily / monthly spend
- Top operations by cost
- Per-model token usage
- Connector and scraper spend
- Team member usage
There are two dashboard generations:
- Usage Dashboard v1 — basic charts and totals.
- Usage Dashboard v2 — richer breakdowns, historical trends, and export.
Budgets and limits
Workspace owners and admins can configure:
- Workspace credit limit — hard cap on monthly spend.
- Auto-extract spend budget — limit on agent-driven extraction and research.
- Rate limits — per-tenant throttling on expensive operations.
- Kill switch — disable costly operations globally or per workspace.
Manual adjustments
Admins can issue manual credit adjustments or refunds through the admin panel. Each adjustment is recorded with:
- Reason
- Amount
- Approver
- Timestamp
This creates a dual-audit trail for billing disputes.
How to check usage
- Open Usage from your workspace sidebar.
- Select a date range.
- Review the summary cards and charts.
- Drill into specific operations or team members.
- Export the data if needed.
How to set a budget
- Go to Workspace Settings → Billing & Usage.
- Set a monthly credit cap.
- Configure alert thresholds (if available on your plan).
- Save changes.
When the workspace reaches its limit, metered operations will be blocked unless an admin increases the cap.
PostHog product analytics
Nowing also sends product analytics to PostHog for behavior and funnel tracking. This is separate from the credit ledger and used for product improvement.
