Understanding Credits

Chglog uses a simple credit-based billing model. Credits are consumed every time one of your checks is executed by an agent.

How credits are consumed

Each check execution (one agent, one request) costs 1 credit. The number of credits you consume per minute depends on how many checks you have and their intervals:

Credits per minute = sum of (60 / interval_seconds) for each active check

For example: 10 checks running every 60 seconds = 10 credits/minute = 14,400 credits/day.

Pulse credits

Pulse check pings also cost 1 credit each. The consumption depends on how often your services send heartbeats.

Dashboard indicators

The credits badge in the top bar shows your current balance. The Billing page shows:

• Current balance — how many credits remain.
• Usage rate — credits consumed per minute (RPM).
• Projected duration — how many days your balance will last at the current rate.

What happens when credits run out?

When your team's credit balance reaches zero, checks stop being assigned to agents. Monitoring pauses until credits are replenished. No data is lost — checks resume automatically once you top up.
