How credits/tokens work. When credits run out, sites pause until the next cycle; if one project exceeds limits, all projects on the account pause unless auto-recharge or an upgrade is enabled.
What changed in 2025–2026

Pricing
Pausing every site when credits run out protects Netlify's costs but makes customers fear outages. Never let a billing limit take a customer's product offline without a grace buffer.
