# When you run out of credits

> What TIKT does with your last credits, and how it starts again.

TIKT never spends more credits than you have. When they run short, it uses them to the last one, then stops until you add more.

## What happens when your credits run out

* Up to your last credit: when your balance no longer covers a whole post, TIKT reads the people of the next post up to your last
  credit. The others are read once credits are added.
* Then the agent stops: nothing more is collected, nothing is spent. Your tracked profiles, your leads and your ICP stay as they
  are.
* We email you, with **My credits run out**, which you can turn off in **Settings**, under **Profile**. You can also get an email when
  your credits left fall below a threshold you choose, with **My credits left fall below**.

## Start again

* During your trial: open **Billing** and choose a plan. Your unused trial credits are added to your first month.
* With a plan: open **Billing** and click **Add credits** for a pack of 1,000 credits, or **Upgrade** to a larger size.

As soon as credits are added, the agent starts again at its next check, and the people left unread are read.

## When your period ends

At the end of a period, your monthly credits don't carry over; credit packs do, as long as your plan runs. The agent stops until a new
period opens. With a plan, a new period opens each month
when your payment goes through. See [Plans, packs and billing periods](https://docs.trytikt.com/help/plans-and-billing.md).
