X (Twitter) charges for every post and every read, so Convia Pro's paid plans include a monthly X usage budget, separate from your AI credits. This page explains what uses the X budget, where to see it, and what happens when it runs low. It matters to anyone who posts to X from Convia.

What uses the X budget

Posting to X, analytics for your X posts, follower stats and @-mention suggestions all use the X budget. Each X action has its own cost:

X action When it is used
A post Publishing a post to X without a link
A post with a link Publishing a post that has a link. It costs many times more than a post without one
Reading a post's metrics Used when Convia collects your X analytics
An account or mention lookup Used for follower stats and @-mention suggestions

A first comment counts as its own post. Billing → Credits → X usage always shows the current cost of each action.

When the X budget refills

The X budget refills on the 1st of each month (UTC). Unused budget does not carry over to the next month.

Check your X budget

  • Billing → Credits → X usage shows what is left this month, about how many posts it covers, what each X action costs, and your usage history.
  • Billing → Usage has an X usage row next to your AI credits.

Usage history names each charge. A first comment shows as First comment, and a refund keeps the name of what it gave back.

When the X budget runs low

  • When 20% is left, owners and managers see a banner. X analytics pause until the 1st, and posting keeps working.
  • When what remains no longer covers posts with their analytics, Billing says how many posts you can still publish (they won't get analytics until the 1st), or that nothing more can be published this month.
  • If a post cannot be paid for, it goes back to draft and you get a notification. Publish it again after the budget resets on the 1st.

Refresh an X post's analytics

On an X post's analytics, Refresh gets its latest numbers, once a day per post. It is available on plans with Advanced Analytics, to people who can edit posts.

Top up the X budget

Owners and managers can buy more X budget in Billing → Credits → X usage, which lists the top-up amounts. A top-up lasts a year. Convia spends whatever expires soonest first, so the month's included budget is used before a top-up.

X posting on trials and free plans

X posting is included with paid plans. A new plan can start with a free trial: during the trial you can connect X but not post to it, and X posting starts once the plan is paid after the trial ends. The trial notice shows the date your trial ends. For what each plan includes, see the pricing page at https://conviapro.com/pricing.
