# Spend controls
> Configure automatic top-up limits for Actions and Vendor Credits to ensure your account never runs out unexpectedly
Spend Controls allows you to configure automatic top-up limits for both your Actions and Vendor Credits, ensuring your account never runs out of credits unexpectedly.
Spend Controls is available to Pro and Team plan users (monthly and annual).
## How to configure spend controls
1. Click on **Settings** in the sidebar, then select **Spend controls**
2. Click **Start** on either auto-recharge for **Actions** or **Vendor Credits**
3. Set your minimum threshold (the credit balance that triggers an automatic top-up when your balance falls below this limit)
4. Set your top-up amount (the amount added above your minimum threshold when a top-up occurs)
The same configuration process applies to both Actions and Vendor Credits. You can set up separate limits for each type of credit based on your usage patterns.
## How top-ups work
When your balance drops below your minimum threshold, you'll automatically be charged to bring your balance up to your **minimum threshold + top-up amount**.
For example, if you have 1000 credits remaining with a minimum threshold of 10000 and a top-up amount of 1000, you'll be charged for 10000 credits to bring your balance to 11000 — not just 1000 credits.
