What happens when my translation credit runs out?

Last updated on Sep 16, 2026

When your translation credit runs out, new translations pause. Your app keeps running normally — nothing breaks at runtime.

What stops

  • Automatic translation of new strings on push
  • PR generation for new locale file updates

What keeps working

  • Your app serves the last synced locale files exactly as before
  • Existing translations are not removed or degraded
  • Your repo is unchanged
  • You can still push code — globalize.now just queues new strings rather than translating them

How you'll know

You'll see the reason in the app and in the pull request. No translation failures in your app — just a pause in the pipeline.

How to resume

Add a payment method or upgrade your plan at any time from Settings → Billing. New strings resume translating automatically on the next Git push.

Monthly credit

Starter and Team include a fixed amount of translation credit each month (€20 and €200). Indie includes none and bills all translation as usage.
