Manage your team's Postman Flows credit usage

Postman provides tools to help you manage your team's usage of credits in Postman Flows. You get a certain number of credits each month. The amount of credits you get depends on your Postman plan and whether you purchased the Flows add-on. You consume credits when certain blocks are triggered and each time an action runs in the cloud.

You can use the Resource usage dashboard to track the number of credits that have been consumed against your plan's monthly usage limit. You can also enable overages if needed.

View flows usage

The maximum number of credits your flows can consume each month depends on your Postman plan and if you purchased the Flows add-on. To check your team's current credit usage, select Team > Resource Usage to open the Resource Usage dashboard.

When you reach your monthly credit limit, deployed actions and flows that include credit-consuming blocks will complete their current runs. Then they'll be suspended until the next billing cycle, or until overages are enabled.

How Flow modules and actions consume credits

The following table shows how many credits you get each month depending on your plan and whether you purchased the Flows add-on:

	Free	Basic	Professional
Without Flows add-on	500	500	500
With Flows add-on	5,000	25,000	100,000

A deployed action consumes one credit each time it runs in the cloud. The following blocks consume one additional credit each time they run in the cloud:

• HTTP Request
• AI Request
• Evaluate

The Create with AI block consumes multiple credits each time it runs or tests a prompt. The number of credits consumed depends on which AI model the block is configured to use, shown in this table:

Model	Free, Basic, and Professional plans
GPT-4o	15 credits
GPT-4o mini	2 credits
GPT-4	25 credits
GPT-3.5	5 credits

The number of credits consumed by AI models is subject to change, although Postman will notify you in advance of any such change.

AI-generated images

The Create with AI block uses DALL·E 3 to generate images. It consumes 10 credits each time it generates an image, regardless of which plan you're on.

Enable flows overages

Without the Flows add-on, when you've reached your monthly credit limit, credit-consuming blocks and deployed actions will stop running until the next billing cycle. To continue using these blocks and actions before the next billing cycle, you'll need to upgrade your Postman plan.

On Free, Basic, and Professional plans, you can enable flows overages if you've purchased the Flows add-on. With it enabled, you are charged and credited 1,000 credits each time you exceed your previous allotment.

Flows overages are deactivated by default for paid seats. To enable overages, select Team > Resource Usage to open the Resource usage dashboard, and then turn on Pay-as-you-go under Flows Credits.

Pay-as-you-go for Postman Flows isn't available with the Enterprise plan. If you're an Enterprise customer, please contact the Postman sales team when approaching your Flows credit limit.
