Auto-Renewal & Manual Top-Ups
To avoid service disruptions, 360Dialog provides two methods to manage your usage balance
Auto-Renewal
Auto-Renewal automatically charges your saved payment method and adds funds to your usage balance when it drops below a predefined threshold limit.
Why Enable Auto-Renewal
Prevents message delivery interruptions due to low balance
Reduces manual monitoring
Ensures continuity for clients
Each top-up creates a prepayment invoice (not a usage charge)
Manage Settings
Auto Renewal is turned ON, and unless previously configured, your first message sent will trigger the default setup
Threshold Limit
€200
Auto-Top-Up Amount
€100
To view or change your settings:
Billing Options → Overview → Auto-Renewal → Modify
From here, you can:
Enable or disable auto-renewal
Set your threshold limit
Define your auto-top-up amount
Choosing a Suitable Auto-Renewal Amount
To avoid excessive invoice generation, do not set very low top-up amounts.
We recommend estimating your auto-renewal amount based on typical usage:
Stable usage
Monthly average
Fluctuating usage
Weekly or last 15 days usage
Example: If your average usage is $/€2,000/month:
Set Threshold = $/€200
Set Auto-Top-Up Amount = $/€2,000
This minimises the number of top-ups and keeps invoicing clean.
What Happens If the Balance Reaches Zero?
Auto-Renewal enabled
A top-up is triggered automatically; service continues
Auto-Renewal disabled
Messaging pauses until manual top-up is completed
Balance drops below zero
A top-up may still occur based on last saved settings (even if disabled)

You can add funds manually at any time.
