Stay on Top of Your Usage with Billing Alerts
At ConvertAPI, we offer subscription-based services that come with varying amounts of conversions per month or year, depending on your chosen pricing plan. Each plan provides a set quota of conversions, and when you reach your limit, we ensure that you can continue using our service seamlessly through overage charges.
To help you keep track of your usage, we send out email notifications when your consumption reaches critical thresholds—at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of your quota (when the overage begins). These alerts are designed to keep you informed, but setting up additional billing alerts within your own system can help ensure you stay in control.
We offer a User Information Endpoint that allows you to monitor your usage through an API call. You can integrate this into your system to track your consumption in real-time. By calling this endpoint regularly, you’ll have precise insight into how much of your quota has been used, so you can trigger your own internal alerts as needed.

Another way to control your usage is by utilizing Access Tokens. Each token can be assigned a custom amount of conversions, ensuring you never exceed your set limit. If you reach the conversion cap assigned to a token, further usage will be blocked until you generate a new token. This feature can be particularly helpful for team environments where you want to distribute and control quotas among different users or systems.
Tokens can be created and managed either via our Access Tokens Control Panel or through the REST API. Learn more about managing and consuming tokens here: Access Tokens Documentation
By combining our email notifications and these custom billing alerts, you can ensure you always know where you stand with your conversion usage and avoid any unexpected charges.
