Low balance alerts you the moment your balance falls at or below a dollar amount you set. Unlike balance depletion — which forecasts ahead — low balance is reactive and fires as soon as the threshold is actually crossed.

​
When to use it

  • You want a hard floor: “tell me the second I’m under $50.”
  • A safety net under balance depletion — the forecast can miss; a flat threshold won’t.
  • Accounts with irregular usage where forecasting isn’t reliable.

What you configure

SettingWhat it does
Threshold DollarsDollar balance at or below which the alert fires (default $5).
This is a reactive alert — no schedule, no scope picker. It evaluates when traffic comes through your account.

​
How you’re notified

Email and/or SMS, based on your preferences in Settings → Notifications. A cooldown prevents repeat notifications while the balance stays below the threshold. See the alerts overview for delivery details.
