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 consume credits each time a Create with AI block runs. The Create with AI block consumes a variable number of credits depending on how the block is configured and your Postman plan.

You can use the Resource usage dashboard to track the number of credits that have been consumed against your plan's monthly usage limit. If you're on the Professional plan, 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. 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, flows that include the Create with AI block will complete their current runs. Then they'll be suspended until the next billing cycle, or until overages are enabled.

How flows consume credits

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	2 credits
GPT-4o mini	15 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. The number of credits consumed per image in each plan is shown in this table:

Model	Free plan	Basic and Professional plans
DALL·E 3	10 credits	5 credits

Enable flows overages

If you do not have a paid Postman Flows seat, once you've reached your monthly credit limit, any Create with AI blocks in your flows will stop running until the next billing cycle. To continue using these flows, you'll need to upgrade your Postman plan.

With a Professional plan, you can enable flows overages. 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 in the Professional plan. To enable overages, select Team > Resource Usage to open the Resource usage dashboard, and then turn on Pay-as-you-go under Flows Usage.
