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. You consume credits when certain blocks are triggered and each time a deployed flow 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. 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 flows 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 Flows consume credits

There are two types of Flows runs:

• Manual runs (clicking the run button in the app) only consume credits for blocks that execute in the cloud, such as AI Request and Connector blocks.
• Automated Cloud runs (triggered by API or MCP) consume credits for premium blocks including the HTTP Request, Logic blocks, in addition to AI and Connector blocks.

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

• HTTP Request
• AI Request
• Logic blocks (Evaluate, Condition, Validate and If.

Connector blocks consume two credits each time they run.

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:

The AI Agent block consumes one or more credits each time it calls an AI model. The block may call an AI model multiple times during a single run. For example, the AI Agent block may call an AI model one or more times for each tool it uses in a single run. The number of credits consumed depends on the block’s configured AI model, shown in this table:

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

When you’ve reached your monthly credit limit, credit-consuming blocks and deployed flows will stop running until the next billing cycle. To continue using these blocks and deployed flows before the next billing cycle, you’ll need to upgrade your Postman plan.

On paid plans, you can enable flows overages. With it enabled, you are charged for and get 1,000 credits each time you exceed your previous allotment.

Unused flows credits don’t roll over to the next billing cycle.
