Email from Lovable saying your credits will run out? What it means

The short answer

Lovable's changelog of October 28, 2026 says workspace admins and owners now get an email when your credits are likely to run out before your monthly credits refill. The email shows the expected run-out date and the refill date. Lovable bases the estimate on your workspace's recent Run credits usage, which covers Cloud, AI gateway and connector usage, so credits you spend building are not part of it.

What to do

  1. Add credits before the run-out date: buy a top-up or enable auto top-up on Pro and Business, or set limits in Usage limits and alerts.
  2. Find out where the credits go: ask in the project chat, "Why is this project using so many credits?"

Good to know

  • Lovable sends no email while auto top-up is enabled and not paused.
  • If credits do run out, building stops, AI features in deployed apps stop working, and the built-in backend (database, storage, authentication) pauses. Your published pages stay live; only the parts that need the backend or AI stop responding.
