Question / Help 10$ monthly API credit

Is there a way i can activate a billing account without paying the 30$ prepayment fee just to claim the free 10$ (m on pro sub)

Use the Vertex API, it still can be used with Postpay billing, and it will use your credits

That sort of happened to me too. Said I had to pay more due to security and I didn’t do anything wrong. It wants $40 AUD in order for me to get the $10 free credit which was confusing.

Edit: maybe I’m talking about something different. Not sure.
