Credits and transactions
Services are paid for with credits. Every change of your balance is recorded as a transaction — open Transactions in the control panel to see them.
| Field | Meaning |

| Credits | Amount |
| Direction | in — top-up, out — charge |
| Description | What the transaction is for |
| Resource | The service it relates to, if any |
You see only the transactions of your own account.
Balance
Your balance is the sum of all your in transactions minus the sum of all your out transactions. Open Balance in the menu of the control panel: it shows the balance and your last 20 transactions.
Welcome credits
In the dev cloud (test mode) every new account gets 100 credits — one in transaction with the description Initial credit, made as soon as you register. It is given once per account.
Paying for services
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| RestoApp | 1 credit per hour while it is enabled |
- A service costs credits only while it is enabled (
startingoronline). A stopped service is free. - Charges are made once an hour, as one
outtransaction per service with a description likeResource my-shop: 2026-11-13T04:26:02Z–2026-11-13T05:26:02Z— the period it covers (UTC). Time is counted in whole minutes and the amount is rounded to 0.01 credit, so a service that ran for half an hour costs half the hourly price. When you stop or delete a service, the minutes since the last charge are charged right away. - You can enable a service only if your balance covers at least one hour of it. Otherwise the service goes to
error, Enabled is turned off and the status message says, for example,Out of credits: balance 0.50, need 1.00 per hour. Nothing is started.
Running out of credits
When your balance reaches zero or below, all your enabled services are turned off automatically (the cloud checks balances every 5 minutes, so a balance can go slightly below zero). Their status message says Out of credits. As with a manual stop, the data of these services is deleted.
Top-up
Payment by card is not available yet. To get more credits, ask the cloud administrator — they add them to your account as an in transaction.
