If you purchase prepaid credits through a committed contract, you can manage how those credits are allocated across your ClickHouse organizations.
Use the **Prepaid credits** page to view balances and transfer credits between organizations.

<h2 id="access-prepaid-credits">
  Access prepaid credits
</h2>

In the ClickHouse Cloud console, open **Settings**, then select **Prepaid credits** under **Account**.

<Image img="https://mintcdn.com/private-7c7dfe99/IHPnRL-yKHlUbN9W/images/cloud/reference/billing/prepaid-credits-navigation.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=IHPnRL-yKHlUbN9W&q=85&s=be42a837b7be6d79d2a07510291bff31" alt="Prepaid credits under Account in the Settings sidebar" size="sm" width="492" height="1504" data-path="images/cloud/reference/billing/prepaid-credits-navigation.png" />

To view prepaid credit balances, you need at least one of the following roles in an organization with committed contract credits allocated:

* [Admin](/docs/products/cloud/reference/security/console-roles#organization-roles)
* [Billing](/docs/products/cloud/reference/security/console-roles#organization-roles)
* A [custom role](/docs/products/cloud/guides/security/cloud-access-management/manage-custom-roles#create-custom-role) that grants permission to [view or manage billing details](/docs/products/cloud/reference/security/console-roles#console-permissions)

The page shows every organization where you have one of these roles or permissions, including organizations without prepaid credits.

<Note>
  If none of your organizations have prepaid credits, the tab shows an empty state with links to the pricing calculator and a form to contact Sales.

The summary shows prepaid credit totals across the organizations where you have the access described above.

| Metric                    | Description                                                                                 |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Credits Granted** | All prepaid credits allocated to these organizations, including active and expired credits. |
| **Expired Credits**       | All expired prepaid credits across these organizations.                                     |
| **Credits Used**          | All prepaid credits consumed by these organizations.                                        |
| **Credits Available**     | All active prepaid credits that these organizations have not yet consumed.                  |

<Note>
  If you don't have access to every organization allocated credits from a prepaid contract, the totals may be lower than the contract's full credit pool.
</Note>

All amounts are in ClickHouse Credits (CHC), where 1 CHC equals \$1 of usage. If you purchased credits at a discount, you may receive more CHC than dollars paid.

  Organization balances
</h3>

Each row in the table below the summary represents one organization, with data reflecting all of that organization's prepaid balances.

* **Organization** shows the organization's name, a partially masked organization ID, and a link to its billing page for a breakdown of credit balances.
* **Credits granted**, **Expired credits**, **Credits used**, and **Credits available** use the same definitions as the summary, but apply to that organization's prepaid credits.
* **Credit status** shows the state of the organization's prepaid balances, as described below.
* **Expiration Date** shows the prepaid balance's expiration date. If there are multiple balances, it shows the latest expiration date.

| Status                 | Description                                                                                                                         |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Active**             | The organization has one or more prepaid credit balances that have not expired.                                                     |
| **Expires soon**       | The organization has only one active prepaid balance, and it expires within 60 days. This status remains until the balance expires. |
| **Expired**            | All prepaid balances on the organization have end dates in the past.                                                                |
| **Spent**              | All prepaid balances on the organization have been consumed but have not expired. This status takes precedence over **Active**.     |
| **No Prepaid Credits** | The organization has no prepaid credits.                                                                                            |

<h2 id="transfer-credits">
  Transfer credits
</h2>

A credit transfer, also called a split, moves prepaid credits from a source organization to a target organization.

To transfer credits, you need the [Manage billing details](/docs/products/cloud/reference/security/console-roles#console-permissions) permission. The View billing details permission lets you view balances but does not allow transfers.

1. Click **Transfer** in the source organization's row.
2. Select an active credit grant. The panel lists the source organization's active grants and their expiration dates.
3. Select a target organization from the organizations you have access to.
4. Enter the amount to transfer.
5. Review the resulting balances and click **Transfer credits**.

<h3 id="transfer-rules">
  Transfer rules
</h3>

* You can transfer only **active prepaid credits**. You can't transfer trial credits.
* A credit transfer modifies the prepaid credits available to the source and destination organizations. It doesn't change the total active credits granted under your committed contract.
* Transferring prepaid credits into an organization in a trial or a grace period for non-payment makes it a prepaid organization. It starts consuming those credits.
* You can transfer all remaining prepaid credits out of a source organization only if it has a [backup payment method](/docs/products/cloud/reference/billing/managing-payment-methods#add-backup-cc-to-marketplace-org) or no services. Otherwise, the maximum transfer is 75% of the source organization's credit balance.
* You can't transfer credits between ClickHouse Cloud and [Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)](/docs/products/cloud/guides/infrastructure/deployment-options/byoc/overview) organizations.
* You can't transfer credits between organizations billed through different cloud marketplaces, such as AWS Marketplace and Google Cloud Marketplace.

<h3 id="marketplace-billing-after-a-transfer">
  Marketplace billing after a transfer
</h3>

If the source organization is billed through an active AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure Marketplace contract, the target organization's billing setup determines what happens:

| Target organization's billing setup           | Result                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **No marketplace subscription**               | The target organization is automatically linked to the source organization's subscription. After all credits are consumed or expire, overages are billed to that marketplace account. |
| **A subscription on the same marketplace**    | The transfer completes, and the target organization keeps its existing subscription for overages. The source organization's subscription is not copied.                               |
| **A subscription on a different marketplace** | The transfer is blocked.                                                                                                                                                              |

To bill overages for both organizations through the same marketplace subscription, see [how to use another organization's marketplace subscription](/docs/products/cloud/reference/billing/managing-payment-methods#steps-switch-org-different-org).

<h2 id="review-transfer-history-and-notifications">
  Review transfer history and notifications
</h2>

After a transfer completes:

* A new entry appears in the **Transfer History** table below the organization table.
* Both the source and target organizations receive notifications in the UI, by email, and in Slack. Only users with [billing notification access](/docs/products/cloud/features/monitoring/notifications#customizing-notifications) receive these notifications.

If any part of a transfer fails, the entire transaction is blocked and an error is shown. No partial changes are applied.
