Postpaid billing lets an enabled billing account accrue usage and pay by invoice. Krea tracks API usage and open source license usage separately from prepaid compute credits.
Postpaid billing must be configured for your billing account by Krea. Contact sales to arrange access and an API credit limit. An Enterprise plan alone does not mean postpaid billing is enabled.

​
What Is Invoiced?

Invoices belong to a billing account. Workspaces assigned to the same account share its billing balances; an organization with several billing accounts can receive separate invoices. API and OSS usage on the same account are separate line items on one usage invoice. Prepaid compute credits, API credit purchases, and subscription payments are separate from this usage invoice.

View Usage and Invoices in Krea

Organization Owners and Admins can review invoiced usage in the management area.
1

3

Inspect a billing account

Select an account in Billing Accounts to see only that account’s credits and invoiced usage. If several accounts appear in the overview, use the Account column to identify each charge.
The Invoiced Usage card groups entries into: Use the external-link icon beside an invoice’s status to open its hosted Stripe invoice when available. The invoice shows the amount due and payment options.

​
Monthly Billing and Payment

  • The monthly invoicing run is scheduled for the end of the month in UTC. It bills accrued usage when the cycle closes; Krea can also issue an invoice outside that run.
  • Invoices are sent to the billing email associated with the account’s Stripe customer. Owners of the workspace or organization that owns the billing account also receive a link to the invoice.
  • Payment is due 30 days after the invoice is sent. Use the due date on the issued invoice.
  • When usage is invoiced, a fresh usage cycle starts at zero with the same configured API credit limit. A new cycle does not mean the previous invoice has been paid.
The Bills on date in Accruing is an estimate. Use the issued invoice for the actual billing period and payment deadline.

​
Credit Limits

The postpaid API credit limit controls available API spending during a usage cycle. It is not a prepaid balance or a fixed monthly charge: you are invoiced for recorded usage. Contact Krea if you need a different limit. Workspace compute budgets and member usage limits are separate controls. They do not change the payment deadline on an invoice.

​
Troubleshooting

Check that you are viewing the correct organization and billing account. No Invoiced Usage means there are no active cycles or invoice history to display. Contact Krea to confirm postpaid setup.
Invoice on the way means the invoice is still a draft. Stripe Error means Krea could not retrieve its status; it does not mean the invoice was paid. Try again later or contact support.
Ask an owner of the billing account’s organization or workspace to check their inbox, and check the hosted invoice from Billing. Contact support to confirm the billing email or resolve a missing invoice.
