Conversation usage, top-ups and automatic recharge

Check how many conversations you have left and how many each agent uses, buy a top-up at your plan's rate and turn on automatic recharge so you never run dry.

Under Usage you see how many conversations you have left, how many each agent uses day by day, and from there you buy more. A top-up is a one-time payment at your plan's extra-conversation rate and never expires. With automatic recharge, watsi tops you up whenever your balance drops below a number you choose, with a monthly cap so you never overspend.

The Usage page

Open Usage from the sidebar (the Billing & conversations page). There you'll find:

  • Conversations available — your current balance and the Buy conversations button.
  • Your plan — what it includes, when it renews and the options to change or cancel it.
  • Automatic recharge — its status and settings.
  • Daily usage breakdown and Conversations by agent — grouped by hour, day, week or month, with Chats, Messages, Received, Sent by human, Sent by watsi and Billed conversations columns.

The sidebar also shows a summary of your used and remaining conversations.

If you run out of conversations

If your plan's conversations run out, your agent keeps replying on a courtesy margin; once it's used up, AI replies pause until you buy conversations or your plan renews. All the details in Plans and conversations.
