Why usage should be reviewed regularly
Usage tells you whether your workflows are operating at the scale you expect. It helps you spot:- workflows that fire too often
- AI-heavy workflows that are more expensive than expected
- workspaces that are approaching subscription plan limits
Two main usage categories
The product tracks:- run credits
- AI credits
Limits are part of workflow design
Usage is not only something to check after a workflow is live. It should influence how you design workflows from the beginning. For example:- frequent schedules should be intentional
- long step chains should justify their value
- AI should be used where it clearly improves the result
What to monitor over time
Check usage when:- a workflow is new
- a schedule changes
- AI usage increases
- a workflow starts running more often than expected
Where limits show up in practice
Plan limits can affect:- how much workflow activity the workspace can sustain
- how many live workflows can be published
- how much history is retained
- how long workflows can run
