Credit Exhaustion Policy

VESSL uses a credit-based billing system.
An active credit balance is required to keep your workspaces running.

When credits reach zero

  • All running workspaces are paused immediately.
  • Paused workspaces enter a 24-hour grace period.
  • If credits are not added within 24 hours, workspaces are automatically terminated.
  • Once terminated, all workspace data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered, including:
    • Container state
    • Temporary and Workspace storage
Once workspaces are terminated, all data is permanently deleted. Please back up important data to external storage in advance.

Notifications

  • You’ll receive notifications before your credits are fully exhausted.
  • Additional alerts are sent while workspaces are paused during the 24-hour grace period.

Credit top-up, validity, and refunds

  • Credits can be topped up with a minimum purchase amount of $20 USD.
  • Credits are valid for 5 years from the date of purchase unless otherwise required by applicable law.
  • Credits are non-refundable in principle, except where refunds are required by applicable law.

Preventing data loss

To avoid unintended data loss:
  • Back up important data to external storage before credits are exhausted.
  • Ensure your organization maintains sufficient credits for uninterrupted usage.
