Task Stopped Due to Insufficient Credits
What this means
Your account ran out of monthly credits, so Lindy paused your agents and put new tasks on hold until you have credits again.
Why you're seeing this
-
Monthly credit allowance exhausted
CommonCredits don't roll over between billing cycles; once they're spent, agents pause until the cycle resets or you upgrade.
-
An agent looping and burning credits fast
SometimesWhen an agent gets stuck on something it can't solve, it can loop and consume credits rapidly, draining the balance unexpectedly.
-
High-volume triggers driving many runs
SometimesTriggers that fire frequently multiply credit usage and can exhaust the balance faster than expected.
How to fix it
- 1
Once you have credits again, manually retry the stopped task from the Tasks View.
- 2
Go to Settings > Billing to upgrade your plan if you frequently hit the limit.
- 3
Reduce consumption: filter high-volume triggers, switch steps to cheaper models, and add exit conditions so agents don't loop.
- 4
Watch for the low-credit email notification Lindy sends so you can act before agents pause.
Why this happens (the technical detail)
Lindy meters usage in credits that reset each billing cycle and do not carry over. Every model call and action spends credits, so a busy or looping agent can deplete the balance; when it hits zero, Lindy pauses execution rather than running up an unbounded bill, and queues new tasks until credits are restored.
