If you’ve used up your monthly credits before your billing cycle renews, you don’t have to wait. Resetting your billing cycle immediately gives you a fresh allocation of credits — at the cost of starting a new paid cycle right away.
Resetting your billing cycle starts a new cycle immediately. You’ll be charged your current plan amount right away, and your billing renewal date will shift to the day you reset.

​
When to use this

Reset your billing cycle when you’ve run out of credits and need more right now. Once you’ve used 80% or more of your monthly credits, lobstr.io displays a notification banner in your dashboard with a direct Reset Billing Cycle button.

How to reset your billing cycle

1

Look for the notification banner

When you’ve used 80% or more of your monthly credits, a banner appears at the top of your lobstr.io dashboard. Click the Reset Billing Cycle button in that banner.Alternatively, go to Settings > Plans & Billing and find the reset option in the subscription section.
2

Confirm the reset

Review the confirmation prompt and confirm. lobstr.io will charge your current plan amount and renew your credits instantly.
3

Start scraping with fresh credits

Your full monthly credit allocation is available immediately. Your new billing cycle runs from today’s date.

​
What happens when you reset

  • You’re charged immediately for your current plan — same price, same tier, new cycle.
  • Your credits are renewed in full — you get your plan’s complete monthly allocation right away.
  • Your billing date shifts to the day you triggered the reset. For example, if your plan normally renews on the 5th and you reset on the 21st, your next renewal will be on the 21st of the following month.

​
Do unused credits roll over?

No. When you reset, any credits remaining from your previous cycle are lost. You start fresh with your plan’s full allocation — there’s no stacking or rollover. For example, if you have 2,000 credits left and reset, those 2,000 credits are gone. You start with whatever your plan includes.
If you find yourself resetting frequently, consider upgrading your plan instead. A higher-tier plan gives you more credits per month at a better rate than repeated resets.
