How to automatically recharge my credit balance

Click on the Enable auto recharge button.

Next, a popup will open. Click on the toggle button to enable the auto recharge. Additionally, adjust the values for when the auto recharge should kick in and what should be the desired credit balance after the recharge is completed.

Finally, click the Save settings button.
-
The popup will close and you have the confirmation that auto recharge is on.

FAQs
Why my credit balance is below 0?
Sometimes the credit balance can go below 0 as the APIs might still work for a while while our automated systems blocks your service due to out of credits.
Note that when you credit your account with money we will first have to cover the negative balance.
