Goal
Describe billing behavior from the actual implementation rather than from outdated status notes.Prerequisites
- None
Workflow
What the billing dashboard includes
- Plan selection and subscription-state cards
- Current usage, usage projection, and spending-limit controls
- Payment methods, transactions, and cancellation/change-plan flows
Reading subscription state
The subscription card reflects the real account state — for example active or trialing — which is what gates plan-limited features like extra databases, team creation, connection pooling, and manual database backups. If a feature prompts you to upgrade, this is where the state behind that prompt lives.Spending controls
- Set spending limits and alert thresholds so cost does not surprise you.
- Understand at-limit behavior before you hit it.
- Manage the default payment method and review transactions from the same surface.
Expected result
Billing documentation matches the current dashboard behavior and stops understating the feature area.
