WISEPIM automation budget showing credits used by automations this month and the choice between no limit and a monthly limit WISEPIM automation budget showing credits used by automations this month and the choice between no limit and a monthly limit The Automation budget puts a ceiling on the credits that unattended work can use each month: workflow AI steps, enrichment after an import, scheduled enrichment and scheduled Catalog Jobs. Runs you start yourself are not affected. They always use your normal credit balance. What this page enables: you can let automations run freely without worrying that a busy month, a large import or a misconfigured workflow drains your credits. Where to find it: go to Settings and open Automation budget in the AI & Content group. The AI review page links here from its header too.
This is a cap, not an allocation. It does not set credits aside. Two other controls limit spending in different ways: monthly caps per team member in Usage Settings, and credit budgets per project in Organization Settings.

​
This month

The This month section shows what automations spent since the first of the month:
  • Without a limit: “120 credits used by automations” with “No limit is set, so automations can use any credits you have.”
  • With a limit: “120 of 500 credits used” with a Credits used this month meter and a marker for your notice threshold, such as “Notice at 80%”.

​
Set a monthly limit

Under Monthly limit, choose Limit for automations: With a limit, fill in two fields: WISEPIM shows a suggested amount, such as “Suggested: 1,000 credits, half of your plan’s monthly credits.” Click Use 1,000 (or whatever amount is shown) to fill it in. The suggestion never applies itself. Save your changes. You see “Automation budget saved”. Only project owners and admins can change the budget.

​
What counts as automation

​
When the limit is reached

WISEPIM checks the budget before it starts unattended work. If the estimated cost doesn’t fit in what is left this month, the work is skipped and does not start. Work that is already running always finishes, so spending can end up slightly over the limit. You get two in-app notices at most per month: The budget resets on the first day of each calendar month. Refunds for failed work in the same month free up budget again.

​
Act on what you find

Raise Credits per month, or switch to No limit, so the next automated runs can start. Runs you start yourself keep working in the meantime.
Start with the suggested amount and keep the notice at 80%. Check what automations spent at the end of the month in Usage Settings and adjust.
Choose Set a monthly limit and enter 0 under Credits per month. Runs you start yourself keep working.
The automation budget doesn’t cover manual runs. Set a monthly cap per member in Usage Settings instead.
