The job was not started because recent account payments have failed or your spending limit needs to be increased. Please check the 'Billing & plans' section in your settings

Yet another of those issues.

Verify the following precisely:

1. Correct billing scope
   If this runs in an org, check
   Org → Settings → Billing & plans
   (personal billing does not apply to org runners).

2. Failed / pending payments
   Even a single declined charge can soft-lock Actions until resolved.

3. Spending limit configuration
   Ensure it is not:

   • set to 0
   • below current metered usage
     Temporarily remove the limit to test.

4. Enterprise inheritance
   If the org is under an Enterprise account, billing enforcement may occur there.

5. Other unpaid products
   Outstanding charges (e.g., Copilot, metered services) can block workflow execution globally.

Thank you. The org used 2000 of 2000 action minutes

This error usually means billing is blocking Actions from running.

Check these quickly:

• Org → Settings → Billing & plans (not personal billing)
• Make sure there are no failed or declined payments
• Confirm the spending limit isn’t set to 0 or below current usage
• If under an Enterprise account, verify billing there as well

We had the same issue once — a single failed charge paused all workflows.

Fix the payment or adjust the limit and rerun the job 👍
