title: Workflow Credits
|
|
description: Understand workflow credit consumption and management.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Workflow credits power your automations in Twenty. Understanding how they work helps you optimize costs and manage your automation budget effectively.
|
|
|
|
## Credit Allocation
|
|
|
|
Workflow credits are allocated based on your billing cycle, not your plan tier:
|
|
|
|
| Billing Cycle | Credits |
|
|
|---------------|---------|
|
|
| **Monthly subscription** | 5 credits per month |
|
|
| **Yearly subscription** | 50 credits per year |
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
5 monthly credits are generous for standard automations. Most teams won't exceed this limit with typical workflow usage. Additional credits are primarily needed for advanced Code actions and AI-powered workflows.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## How Credit Consumption Works
|
|
|
|
Credits are consumed when workflows execute, not when you create them. Each workflow action consumes credits based on its complexity:
|
|
|
|
### Credit Consumption by Action Type
|
|
|
|
- **Basic internal operations**: Very low credit consumption
|
|
- Search Records
|
|
- Create Record
|
|
- Update Record
|
|
- Delete Record
|
|
- Form actions
|
|
|
|
- **Complex operations**: Higher credit consumption
|
|
- Code actions (JavaScript execution)
|
|
- HTTP Requests to external services
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **AI features**: Higher credit consumption
|
|
- AI Agent actions consume credits based on the AI model used
|
|
- More complex prompts and longer outputs use more credits
|
|
|
|
- **Delay actions**: Minimal credit consumption
|
|
- The Delay node consumes **1 credit** when it executes
|
|
- **No credits are consumed** during the wait period
|
|
- A 5-minute delay costs the same as a 5-day delay
|
|
|
|
### Real-Time Deduction
|
|
|
|
Credits are deducted in real-time as workflows execute. This means:
|
|
- Draft workflows don't consume credits
|
|
- Only active, running workflows use your credit allocation
|
|
- Failed workflows still consume credits for completed steps
|
|
|
|
## Managing Credits
|
|
|
|
### Check Credit Usage
|
|
1. Go to **Settings → Billing**
|
|
2. View your current credit consumption and remaining balance
|
|
3. Monitor usage patterns to optimize your workflows
|
|
|
|
### Purchasing Additional Credits
|
|
If you need more credits beyond your plan allocation:
|
|
1. Go to **Settings → Billing**
|
|
2. Click on the option to purchase additional credits. Packages of different sizes are available.
|
|
3. Credits are added to your current balance
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- **Batch Processing**: Use bulk operations and Iterator actions efficiently
|
|
- **Manual Trigger Optimization**: For manual triggers, choose `Bulk` availability to process multiple records in a single workflow run
|
|
- Optimize Code actions for efficiency
|
|
- Batch operations to reduce individual action calls
