The Usage-based add-on lets Pro, Pro+, and Enterprise organizations continue processing eligible PR reviews and CLI reviews after reaching the applicable review limit. Credits are consumed only when an eligible review continues over that limit. Manage credits and the add-on toggle from the Usage-based add-on tab in Subscription and Billing.
The add-on is available on the Pro plan and above and is not visible during a trial. Your organization shares one credit balance across all PR and CLI reviews.

PR review behavior

When a review is over the applicable limit, the add-on behavior depends on whether it is enabled and whether credits are available:
SituationBehavior
Within the applicable limitReviews work as normal. No credits are used.
Over limit, add-on enabled, credits availableCodeRabbit continues reviewing and charges pay-as-you-go for each eligible over-limit review. No interruption for developers.
Over limit, add-on disabledDevelopers see a message that the review limit has been reached. An admin can enable the add-on to continue.
Over limit, add-on enabled, credits insufficientDevelopers see a message to contact an admin to purchase more credits.
CLI-triggered reviews follow the same billing path and opt-in logic as reviews from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket PR pages. Authenticated CLI and agentic API-key reviews use the assigned user’s plan allowance first. Credits are consumed only after the review reaches the applicable limit and the request is attributed to a user with an assigned seat. For Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, your plan includes a set number of PR reviews per hour per developer. CodeRabbit uses a progressive refill model: reviews become available again over time, and the wait time after a limit is reached can depend on the developer’s recent PR review activity in that organization. During sustained high-volume review activity, CodeRabbit may temporarily space out additional reviews to keep the service fair and reliable for all teams. To learn more, see our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Enable the add-on

Admins enable and disable the add-on using the pay-as-you-go toggle in Organization Settings in the CodeRabbit dashboard. There is one toggle, one credit balance, and one billing path covering all PR and CLI reviews.

Buy credits

Choose one of the available purchase options:
  • One-time purchase — buy a fixed credit amount as needed.
  • Monthly subscription — set a recurring monthly credit amount billed automatically.
  • Auto-refill — automatically top up your balance when it falls below a threshold. You can set a monthly cap for automated refills, with a minimum cap of $20.
Preset amounts of 20,20, 40, 80,and80, and 100 are available, with a custom entry for larger one-time purchases.

Review usage and transaction history

Track total credits purchased, remaining balance, and recent usage events in the same tab.
When auto-refill is enabled, CodeRabbit checks the configured monthly cap before each automated refill. The cap applies only to auto-refill charges in the current UTC calendar month. If the next refill would exceed the cap, CodeRabbit skips the automated refill instead of charging a smaller partial refill. Manual credit purchases are not limited by the auto-refill cap.
