Your plan runs out. Your Twitter/X API calls don’t.
Pay as you go: when your plan’s requests run out, a prepaid balance keeps calls running. It never expires, and you set the limit.
How pay as you go works
- Paid plan
You need an active paid plan
Pay as you go runs on top of any paid plan. On the 100 free requests you can’t add funds.
- From $20
You add funds to your balance
By card or crypto, from $20. The balance is in dollars and never expires, even if your plan ends.
- Plan first
Your plan’s requests go first
While your plan still has requests, the balance isn’t touched.
- Then balance
Then your balance pays
At your plan’s own price per request, up to the monthly limit you set. Next period your plan’s requests come first again.

Extra requests cost your plan’s own price per 1,000, paid from your balance once the plan’s are used up. Failed requests are never charged, and if you go over every month, the next plan costs less per request.

Yearly plans pay the same price for extra requests as the monthly plan.
Change plans and your dollar balance stays the same. New extra requests cost the new plan’s price once it starts.
Estimate a plan with extra requestsYour balance is the money. Your limit is the cap.
They are set apart on purpose: the balance can hold more than one period’s worth, and the limit decides how much of it extra requests may spend in one month.
$100 can go to extra requests this period. The other $900 waits for the next ones.
Balance
In dollars, added in Billing by card or crypto, from $20, before you run out or after. It never expires and can’t be withdrawn.
Spending limit
Set it from $10, raise it or lift it any time. At the limit extra requests pause, even with money left, and start again when the period resets. Yearly plans reset it every month.
Adding funds doesn’t change your plan, add to its requests or reset the limit.
Open BillingHow auto top-up works
Turn it on in Billing and choose two numbers: the balance that’s too low, and how much to add. When the balance drops below it, we add funds from your card and calls carry on.
- You choose the numbers.
For example: when the balance drops below $10, add $50. Top-ups start at $20.
- Your limit still rules.
Auto top-up refills only what extra requests spend, and they never spend past your monthly limit.
- Every top-up on record.
Each one shows up in Payment history. Change the numbers or turn it off any time.
If calls stop, you’ll know why
- Open Billing
Extra requests are off
Your balance is kept. Switch Extra requests on in Billing.
- Add funds
The balance is too low
Add funds in Billing, by card or crypto.
- Raise the limit
The spending limit is reached
Your balance is kept. Raise the limit or wait for the monthly reset. Adding funds won’t lift it.
- See plans
Your paid plan has ended
Your balance is kept. Start a plan and it works again at that plan’s price.
Need much more every month? Upgrades start at once with a full quota, and your leftover requests carry over.

Adding funds doesn't change your plan, add to its requests or reset the limit.
Open BillingDo I need a plan to pay as you go?
Yes. Extra requests work on top of an active paid plan. The 100 free requests are separate, and adding funds doesn't start or renew a plan.
What's the smallest top-up?
$20, by card or crypto, in Billing.
Do extra requests start on their own?
No. They run only after you switch on Extra requests in Billing, and only once your plan's requests are used up.
Can extra requests spend more than I expect?
No. They stop at your monthly spending limit, and they only spend the balance you added yourself. Every top-up is in Payment history.
Does my balance expire?
Never. If you cancel or your plan ends, the balance stays in your account for when you come back. Requests included in your plan still follow the plan's monthly quota.
Can I get my balance back?
No. Funds can't be withdrawn or moved back to a card or wallet, so add what you expect to use.
What happens to my rate if I change plans?
The balance stays in dollars. Once the new plan starts, extra requests cost that plan's price, so the same balance covers more or fewer requests. Earlier charges aren't recalculated.
What extra requests cost on each plan
Your balance never expires, and you pay only for the requests you make; a plan's requests reset every month. If you go over every month, upgrade: the next plan costs less per request, starts at once with a full quota, and your leftover requests carry over.
