Topping up
In the dashboard, go to Usage and add funds with a card. Funds are available immediately, and there is no minimum commitment; top up only what you need.New accounts can claim a one-time $1 welcome credit from the Get-started
checklist by connecting a card; nothing is charged. It’s enough for the setup
check and your first requests.
Your balance
The dashboard distinguishes total balance from what’s actually spendable right now:
New requests are gated on available balance, not total balance, because
holds reserve funds that in-flight requests may still consume.
Holds
Before a per-token request runs, Omnia places a short-lived hold on your wallet, sized to the request’s worst-case cost:- the prompt token estimate at the input rate, plus
- the maximum possible output at the output rate,
max_tokens before
any billing happens), so a hold can never balloon beyond what the request could
actually cost.
When the request settles, the hold is replaced by the exact charge for the
tokens actually used, and any excess reservation is released. Holds are released
automatically; you never manage them by hand. This mechanism is what lets Omnia
safely gate a near-empty wallet without ever overcharging.
Settlement is idempotent, keyed on the request id, so a request is never
double-charged, even if a settle is retried.
Streaming and cancellation
For streaming responses, Omnia bills the tokens actually produced, including any partial output on a stream that is cancelled or disconnects. You’re charged for exactly what was generated: never for nothing, and never for tokens that weren’t produced.Running low
Your available balance can dip to at most −$1.00, a small buffer so a request already in flight won’t fail over a rounding cent. A wallet at or below that buffer refuses new requests with402 insufficient_balance rather than
letting you overspend.
To avoid interruptions:
Keep a buffer
Maintain a balance comfortably above your typical burst spend.
Enable auto-reload
Automatically top up from a saved card when you drop below a threshold.
Dedicated endpoints and your wallet
Dedicated endpoints draw on the same wallet but are billed per GPU-hour rather than per token:- Deploying requires enough prepaid balance to cover a minimum runway (default one hour). If your balance falls short, deployment is refused and the message states the exact shortfall.
- A running endpoint whose wallet becomes exhausted is auto-stopped to prevent further charges.
