Usage & billing cycles
What’s measured
Section titled “What’s measured”Usage is counted in test results — individual test executions stored — summed across every run in the current cycle. A run with 200 tests adds 200; retries that store another result count too. You can watch the current total on your organization’s Billing screen.
When the cycle resets
Section titled “When the cycle resets”- Free cycles are anniversary-based: they reset on the same day-of-month your organization was created. An org created on Jan 15 resets on Feb 15, Mar 15, and so on (clamped for short months — e.g. a Jan 31 anniversary lands on Feb 28).
- Pro cycles follow your subscription’s billing period from Polar. The displayed usage, reset date, and estimated charge all track that period — so a subscription that renews on the 30th resets on the 30th, not on your original org anniversary.
Free: the hard cap
Section titled “Free: the hard cap”When a Free org reaches 1,000 test results in a cycle, further uploads are blocked until the next reset. A banner in the dashboard tells you you’ve hit the cap. Your Playwright runs are unaffected — they pass and fail exactly as before; they just aren’t recorded until the cycle rolls over (or you upgrade).
Pro: included + metered overage
Section titled “Pro: included + metered overage”Pro includes 10,000 test results per cycle. Past that:
- Each additional test is metered at $0.002.
- Overage is billed in arrears — it appears on your next invoice, on top of the $20 base.
- Pro never blocks. Uploads keep flowing no matter how far over you go.
The Billing screen shows an estimated charge this period, computed from your current usage:
estimate = $20 base + $0.002 × max(0, test_results − 10,000)| Test results this cycle | Estimated charge |
|---|---|
| 8,000 | $20.00 |
| 10,000 | $20.00 |
| 15,000 | $30.00 |
| 35,000 | $70.00 |
Managing payment & invoices
Section titled “Managing payment & invoices”Checkout, the customer portal, payment methods, and invoice downloads are handled by Polar. Reach them from the Billing screen → Manage subscription.
