Announcing Auto Upgrade

Opt in and Pingram moves a paid account to the next monthly budget when spend hits 90% of the current tier.
Paid accounts can now turn on auto upgrade. When spend in the current billing cycle reaches 90% of your monthly budget, Pingram moves you to the next tier. Sending keeps going instead of stopping at the cap.
Turn it on
Open Settings → Plan and enable Auto upgrade.
You can also set it from the API: GET /account includes autoUpgrade, and PATCH /account with { "autoUpgrade": true } turns it on.
What happens at 90%
- You move one tier (for example $20 → $50, then $50 → $100).
- You simply pay the difference between the new tier and the previous one (for example $20 → $50 is $30).
- Extra budget is available immediately. Your billing date does not change.
- It can fire again in the same cycle once spend reaches 90% of the new budget.
- If there’s a downgrade scheduled for the end of the billing cycle, the upgrade will cancel that pending change.
Account owners get an email after each auto upgrade, with a link back to Plan settings.
Turn it off
Turn Auto upgrade off on the same Plan page. Your current budget stays; later crossings of 90% will not change the plan.
See the auto upgrade docs for the full behavior.
