I do not have enough credits

Updated 2026-10-17

In CustomIQ, when a step is about to spend more credits than you have, the IQ chat shows a card with your balance, the amount needed and the shortfall, and pauses until you top up. Open Billing and credits, add balance and return to the IQ chat to continue from the same step; nothing is charged until you confirm.
