Overage billing lets Pro and Enterprise users continue creating after hitting monthly limits by paying only for extra usage.
When you enable overage billing, you can generate content beyond your plan limits. Instead of being blocked, you're charged for additional usage at cost-based rates.
Go to Billing → Overage Settings and toggle overage billing on.
Choose a monthly spending cap between $10 and $500. This prevents unexpected charges.
Recommended Caps:
When you exceed your monthly limits, generation continues automatically and overage charges accumulate.
View your overage usage in real-time on the Dashboard and Billing pages.

Pricing is based on actual AI provider costs plus a small markup (typically 1.5x actual cost). This means cheaper models cost less and premium models cost more.
$0.02 - $0.30 per image (varies by model)
Examples:

$0.01 - $0.05 per minute
Examples:
Unlike fixed overage rates, Lucky 7 uses dynamic cost-based pricing. This means:
You Pay: Actual AI provider cost × 1.5 (50% markup)
Why this is better:
Example:
Preview model costs before generating. Cheaper models often produce great results.
Start with a lower cap ($25-$50) and adjust based on your usage patterns.
Check your overage dashboard regularly to see which features you use most.
Free generations (within your plan limits) are used before overage kicks in.
If you consistently hit your cap, consider upgrading to a higher plan for better base limits.
Your overage dashboard shows:
View past periods to understand your typical overage usage.

Is overage billing required?
No. It's optional for Pro and Enterprise plans. Free plans cannot enable overage.
When does overage billing start?
Immediately after you exceed your plan's monthly limits.
Can I see costs before generating?
Yes. Each node shows estimated costs when overage is enabled.
What if I forget to set a cap?
Default caps apply: $50 for Pro, $200 for Enterprise.
Can I get overage refunds?
No. Overage charges are final once generation completes.
Do overage limits reset?
Yes. Overage spending resets at the start of each billing period, along with your plan limits.
Can I disable overage mid-month?
Yes. Any accumulated charges will still be billed, but new overage generation stops.
What happens if my payment fails?
Overage billing disables automatically until payment is resolved.
Begin with a small cap and increase as you understand your usage.
Check your overage report each month to optimize spending.
Enable overage for important projects, disable for experimental work.
