Billing
Use Billing to manage how your Organization pays for Mistral services. This includes payment methods, billing information, credits, monthly spending limits, usage for the current month, and invoices.
You need the Admin or Billing Organization role to manage billing.
Open Billing
Open Admin Panel›Subscriptions›Billing ↗.
Payment methods
Use Payment methods to add or update the payment method for your Organization. If no payment method is configured, the Billing page shows that no payment method has been added.
Billing information
Use Billing information to update the billing profile for your Organization. This information appears on future invoices.
Credits
Prepaid credits are an amount in your billing currency that you pay in advance for Mistral usage. Credits are applied to subscription invoices, and you need them to enable pay-as-you-go.
The Credits section shows the following information:
- the current credit balance;
- pending pay-as-you-go usage;
- the credit history, including grants, purchases, remaining balance, expiration, and status.
To buy credits with your payment method, select Add credits. You can also redeem a gift code from this section.
To avoid interruptions, we recommend that you turn on auto recharge in the Auto Recharge section. When your balance falls below the threshold that you set, we charge your payment method and add the chosen amount to your balance.
Credits and usage consumption
Your included monthly usage is consumed first. To use the API and Vibe Code beyond it, your Organization needs both pay-as-you-go enabled and a positive credit balance.
- When your Organization has used 80% of the credits from its last top-up, members with the Admin or Billing Organization role receive an email.
- When your balance reaches zero, API and Vibe Code requests beyond your included monthly usage fail with HTTP status
402. To restore access, add credits from the link in the error message. You don't need to take any other action.
- Your balance can go slightly below zero because usage takes a short time to process. Your next invoice includes this overage.
- Credits are deducted including tax, while spending limits apply before tax. As a result, your credits can run out before you reach your spending limit.
- Spending limits still apply when you have credits.
Monthly spending limit
Use Monthly spending limit (API and Vibe) to configure a monthly usage cap for API and Vibe consumption at the Organization level.
If the limit is reached, API access can be suspended until the next month begins or an admin increases the limit. If recent invoice payments fail, access can also be affected until the payments are processed again.
The Organization spending limit applies across the Organization. Workspace spending limits cannot exceed it. For Workspace-specific caps, see Workspace usage and limits.
Current usage
The Usage section shows current API usage for the ongoing month. It can include:
- current usage;
- monthly limit;
- API usage.
For detailed usage breakdowns by day, model, capability, and Workspace, see Usage and limits.
Invoices
The Invoices section lists past invoices with their invoice ID, date, amount, payment status, type, and download action.
To learn how to read and download invoices, see Invoices.
