Not able to get 1000 credits from tutorial because I have used all my credits

I completed a tutorial to get the free 1000 credits (never got them) but I had the 1000 monthly credits so I messed around with some work flows and ended up accidentally using all 1000 credits on one workflow run.

I tried to complete the tutorial again to see if I could get the 1000 credits but you can’t actually complete the tutorial because the last step is to run the agent which you can’t do if you don’t have any credits.

Is there any way to get the free tutorial credits if have run out of credits?

Also is there a way to stop a run from draining all your credits like that?

Hey! Sorry about that, looping @AronKorenblit here to send over some credits your way so you can continue building your flow.

Thanks Wasay - so what advice can you give to prevent draining all of my credits in future?

My agent was an outlook email reader to go through my top 1000 emails - categorize them into 2 categories, create a summary for each and put them into a Google sheet.

When I ran it, it didn’t finish because it drained all 1000 of my credits. I got nothing actually for my 1000 credits because the end result node populating the google sheet was never reached.

Maybe I should have run it as a sub loop processing 10 records at a time so that at least I would have gotten a partial population of my Google sheet.

I remember back in the early days of playing with cloud computing I got a massive bill from AWS because I left something running that was chewing up resources. I am getting those vibes again with this - what if I create an agent that users just go to town with?

Im not even sure 100k credits a month would be enough for most organizations.

Do you have any advice for effective strategies to manage how many credits your org goes through? Our end users will likely have zero concept of the costs involved in running an agent. So they will likely go to town without realizing how much they are consuming.

Hey @Christine - You’re right about the subflow concept. So instead of running through all 1k emails you could use a subflow that processes a single email and test that first.

In loop mode operations you can also use the List Trimmer node to limit the number of items during testing, so you could test on 10 emails instead of 1000.

You can add similar caps in the workflows that you pass onto the end user so that they don’t burn through the credits.
