High Credit Use and Overcharges

The "Paid as you go" Paid Plan comes with a baseline usage allocation of 4M credits/month.

Should the usage of our platform go beyond the baseline allocation, we overcharge.

You can check the usage of your account via the [Tatum dashboard] > [Usage]

Causes for High Credit Use and Overcharges

• RPC calls - Especially archival with debug/tracer - these are more expensive than normal calls.
• Subscriptions (notifications) - High transaction volume blockchain addresses.
  • You may want to audit what blockchain addresses you are monitoring and delete unnecessary subscriptions.
• DATA API - Recurrent or automatized queries can rack up costs.
• Virtual Accounts - Deposit addresses. Each blockchain deposit address incurs a cost of 20 credits/day for address monitoring
• KMS - usually takes 4 credits per 1 minute (if you start checking pending Txs once per 15 sec) means 4_60_24 == 5760 credits/day
