A Consumption Credit is a unit of measure used to pay for Notehub services, such as routing events.

An Event is the basic unit of data sent from a Notecard to Notehub and to a customer’s servers through a Route if a Route is defined. It’s the user-defined JSON data from a customer’s microcontroller or Notecard, further annotated with things such as time and cell tower location.

A Route is a user-defined configuration in Notehub that specifies one or more internet destinations to which a given Event may be “pushed” from the Notecard.

An Event Retrieval API is a “pull” mechanism to fetch Event data from the Notehub, complementing the “push” mechanism of sending Event data via Routes.

A “Web Request” is a request made outward to web servers on the internet, originated by Notecard as the result of a “web.get”, “web.put”, or “web.post”. These Notecard requests are routed “through” the Notehub, which acts as a secure proxy keeping devices isolated from the internet.

When the Notecard runs low on data, Connectivity Assurance will automatically add data to the Notecard SIM’s data plan.

Data routing and events use Consumption Credits. 5,000 are included with each Notecard Purchase. If your Consumption Credit balance falls below 5,000 CC’s we will refresh your account each month up to 5,000 Consumption Credits. Any CC’s needed beyond that will need to be purchased. Below is a table to illustrate the consumption credit cost per service.

In order to accommodate a wide range of deployment sizes and use cases, Consumption Credits may be purchased in the following discount tiers:

No. 5,000 Consumption Credits are provided with each Notecard purchase at no additional charge.

5,000 credits will automatically be added to your project’s billing account the first time a Notecard is provisioned and connects to Notehub.

Yes. On the 1st of the month, any billing account with a balance below 5,000 credits will automatically top-up to 5,000 credits. For example, if your billing account balance equals 4,500 credits on the 1st of the month, we will automatically add 500 credits to your billing account and restore your balance to 5,000. There is no additional charge for the refreshing credits.

No. Once bundled credits are added to your billing account, they can be consumed by any Notecard within your project. This allows you to pool credits within your billing account.

It is quick and easy to purchase additional Consumption Credits in Notehub. You have the option to make one-time purchases or setup Auto-recharge, which will automatically purchase credits when your balance reaches your defined minimum balance.

The easiest way to avoid running out of credits is to set up Auto-recharge. Simply define your minimum balance and quantity of credits to be purchased when this balance is reached. Notehub will purchase the additional amount on your behalf and notify you when this happens.

Usage is tracked throughout the day and visible within Notehub. Notehub will provide the ability to view usage by date range, project and activity type (routed event, API call, etc).

Yes. Simply, login to Notehub and select Billing from your Profile menu. Define the threshold for your Billing Account balance to trigger an alert. If your balance is below your defined threshold, Notehub will send you an email once per day until the balance is restored to an amount above the threshold.
