When you review workspace usage, the credit usage overview shows a total credit allocation. Credit allocations are guidelines, not hard limits. Exceeding them won’t block test execution. Account admins can manage credit allocations according to their team’s testing needs from the account billing dashboard.
What is an account admin?
An account admin is a workspace owner that also has access to account-level billing and coverage dashboards. If you can access the company dashboard from the workspace dropdown in the top right corner of the mabl app, you are an account admin.
Default credit allocation
By default, the total number of credits for an account is shared equally across its workspaces. For example, if an account with two workspaces is allocated 30,000 credits for the month, each workspace shows 15,000 for its credit limit.
Updating credit limits
If you don’t want credits to be shared evenly across your workspaces, you can manually set fixed credit limits. For example, if you have a workspace for onboarding new team members, you may want to allocate fewer credits than your primary testing workspace.
Account admins can update credit limits on the account billing dashboard:
- Existing workspaces - click on the pencil icon to update the credit limit.
- New workspaces - replace the default credit limit with a custom credit limit.
Balancing allocations across workspaces
Depending on the type of credit limits, Default or Fixed, you may need to review your credit limits to ensure they still align with your testing priorities.
Default limits
mabl automatically splits credits evenly across all workspaces that have a Default credit limit. Default limits automatically adjust when you add or delete workspaces. For example, consider an account that has 30,000 total credits and two workspaces with the default credit limit.
- If you add a third workspace with a default credit limit, the limit for all three workspaces updates to 10,000 credits each.
- If you remove the third workspace, the limit for the two remaining workspaces updates to 15,000 credits each.
Fixed limits
If you manually set a different credit limit, the billing dashboard shows a Fixed badge next to the credit limit. Unlike default credit limits, fixed credit limits do not automatically change when workspaces are added or removed.
After adding or removing workspaces with fixed credit limits, you may want to rebalance your account’s credit allocations to make sure they align with your testing priorities and set clear expectations for your team. For example, consider an account that has 30,000 total credits and two workspaces with the default credit limit.
- Adding a workspace with a fixed limit of 1,000 credits reduces the remaining credits available to default workspaces, updating their limits to 14,500 credits each.
- Adding another default workspace in the above scenario distributes the remaining credits evenly across all default workspaces, resulting in 9,666 credits per workspace.
