You can now configure credit entitlements with soft limits, allowing customers to continue accessing your product even after their credit balance reaches zero.

🆕 What's New

Until now, credit entitlements enforced a hard limit once a customer's credit balance was depleted.

With this release, you can now choose whether a credit entitlement is enforced as a hard limit or a soft limit directly from the plan and add-on editor.

When a credit entitlement is configured as a soft limit:

• Customers can continue consuming credits after their balance is exhausted
• Access checks continue to return access granted
• Stigg surfaces a soft-limit indication so your application can distinguish between available credits and overage usage

This gives you greater flexibility in how you manage credit-based plans and overage experiences.

⭐️ Why It Matters

Not every usage-based business wants to block customers the moment they run out of credits.

Soft limits enable you to:

• Allow overages while maintaining visibility into credit consumption
• Prevent service interruptions for high-value customers
• Create usage-based plans that balance flexibility with control
• Build grace-period and overage billing experiences

Whether you're monetizing API calls, AI requests, or platform usage, soft limits let you decide when credit balances should enforce access and when they should simply act as a billing signal.
