Definition: Auto Top-Up is the threshold-based credit refill feature for Taskade Genesis. You set a minimum credit balance and a refill amount, and Taskade automatically purchases more credits the moment you cross the threshold. It removes the "out of credits" stall from long Genesis Loop sessions and overnight agent runs.
Why Auto Top-Up Matters in 2026
AI agents and Genesis app generation are credit-metered, and a single big build can consume thousands of credits. Without auto refill, hitting zero mid-generation is a hard stop, the agent's context is lost, and you have to come back, top up manually, and re-prompt. Auto Top-Up (shipped in Taskade v6.150) makes that failure mode go away. Long-running Space Agents and overnight vibe workflow generations can run uninterrupted.
How Auto Top-Up Works
- Set a threshold. Pick a minimum credit balance, for example, 1,000 credits.
- Set a refill amount. Pick how many credits to purchase at a time, for example, 5,000.
- Choose a credit pack. The refill draws from Taskade's volume-tiered credit pack pricing, where larger packs unlock better per-credit rates.
- Run uninterrupted. Once your balance crosses the threshold, Taskade purchases the refill automatically, logs the transaction in your billing history, and the agent keeps working.
When Auto Top-Up Earns Its Keep
| Scenario | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Overnight Genesis app generation | No mid-run stalls |
| Long-running Space Agents | Continuous background work |
| High-volume automation runs | Triggers fire without credit gaps |
| Team workspaces with shared spend | Predictable refill cadence |
Connection to Taskade
Auto Top-Up is configurable in your workspace billing settings on every paid plan that uses credits. It works alongside Genesis App Analytics and the credit audit log so you can see exactly what each generation cost.
