Get started with Billing and Usage
Check your balance, add infra credits, and see the payment in your statements. On a prepaid account, your instances, VMs, and endpoints run on infra credits, so add them before you launch anything.
Before you begin
Section titled “Before you begin”You need to be the account owner. The owner can open every part of Billing & Usage, and an Admin can open only Account Usage.
Check your balance
Section titled “Check your balance”The top bar of TIR shows your balance. A prepaid account shows Credits, your infra credit balance. A postpaid account shows Usage, your usage for the current month, in your billing currency.
Select the balance to see more. On a prepaid account, a balance of zero or less means you need to add credits to keep using paid services. On a postpaid account, unpaid invoices are separate from this month’s usage. From the balance, you can view your usage, and the account owner can Add credits (prepaid) or Pay now (postpaid).
For a fuller picture, open the account menu at the top right and select Billing & Usage. Overview shows your balance, recent transactions, and your AutoPay settings.
Add infra credits
Section titled “Add infra credits”- Open the account menu at the top right, select Billing & Usage, then Payment & Transactions in the settings menu on the left. You can also select Add credits in the balance panel. If your billing details or identity verification still need finishing, complete them first with Complete verification.
- In Credits to add, enter how many infra credits to buy. One infra credit is one unit of your billing currency, before GST.
- Check Total payable, the amount you pay, and select Add credits.
- Pay in the checkout that opens. An INR account can pay by card, net banking, e-wallet, or UPI. Any other account pays by card.
TIR tells you whether the payment went through. Select Done. Your payment is at the top of Recent Transactions, and the Credits balance at the top has the new total.
What to do next
Section titled “What to do next”- Set up AutoPay to buy credits when the balance runs low, so your resources keep running.
- Redeem a coupon if E2E sent you a code.
- Pay now covers postpaid accounts, every payment option, and TDS.
- If a launch is refused for low credits, see Troubleshooting Billing and Usage.
