<h3 data-start="364" data-end="415">Auto Recharge &mdash; Avoid Service Interruptions</h3>
With Auto Recharge enabled, your account balance will be automatically topped up when it runs low. This helps prevent instances from being paused due to insufficient balance and ensures uninterrupted service for your workloads.
You can enable Auto Recharge at: User Console &rarr; Financial &rarr; Payment&nbsp;
Once enabled, simply set your preferred recharge options and you&rsquo;re all set.
Key features of Auto Recharge:
<ul data-start="851" data-end="998">
<li data-start="851" data-end="891">
You decide when to turn it on or off
</li>

It only triggers when your balance is low
</li>
<li data-start="938" data-end="998">

</ul>
Automation helps maintain uptime &mdash; without taking away your control.

Link Payment allows you to complete a payment quickly through a dedicated payment link, without navigating multiple dashboard steps. It&rsquo;s ideal for fast top-ups, shared payments, or simplified billing scenarios.

<h3 data-start="1343" data-end="1367">Why This Matters</h3>
These updates are designed to reduce payment friction, minimize the risk of downtime caused by low balance, and give you more flexibility in how you manage your account.
