Just a heads-up: with our Auto Top-Up, we'll keep your balance in good shape by topping it up every month, starting from the day you turn it on. Don't forget to set how much you want to add, or you can always tweak it later. Need a hand figuring out the right amount? Just check out your hourly usage on the billing page, and it'll give you a pretty good idea of what you might need each month.
Follow these Steps to Setup an Automatic Top Up for your Compute Balance:
- Navigate to the Compute Billing page.
- Toggle on the Auto Top up option.
- Enter a recurring amount(At least $15 USD).

Ensure your auto top up amount covers your monthly compute usage.
