Automation credits are consumed when Sheetgo executes automation work. The exact amount depends on the automation type, number of sources, number of destinations, and outputs used.
Common examples
A simple sync from one spreadsheet to another usually uses 1 credit.
A merge usually uses credits based on the number of sources it processes.
A split usually uses credits based on the number of destinations it writes to.
Generated outputs such as emails, documents, or other executed actions can also consume credits.
How to track it
Use your product usage views and account area to check monthly included credits, consumed credits, and overage if it applies to your plan.
For the current definition of the usage unit itself, see What are automation credits?.
