# Credits
> Top up credits, review credit charge history, and refunds.
Admins can top up credits and review charge history.
To access credits management:
1. Go to the Organization admin page by clicking your Organization name from the top navigation bar.
2. Open the **Billing** tab in the sidebar.
3. Select the **Credit history** tab.
**Credit buffer policy**: VESSL Cloud provides a \$10 buffer that keeps workspaces running briefly after your balance reaches zero. Workspaces continue running until the buffer runs out. The buffer usage appears as a negative balance in the credit badge and is deducted from your next top-up.
**Credit exhaustion and termination**
If your credit balance is exhausted beyond the buffer, running workspaces may be **terminated** to prevent further charges.
* **Notification**: You will receive email alerts **every hour** starting **24 hours before** forced termination.
* **Data loss**: Termination permanently deletes the workspace and its temporary data. Cluster storage and Object storage volumes are preserved.
* **Action**: Please top up credits in advance to avoid service interruption and data loss.
For each entry, you can review usage breakdown, download invoices, and request refunds (with status tracking).
