# Prepaid Settings
## Learn how Maqsam’s prepaid model works, including account balances, thresholds, recharge amounts, and email alerts for better budget control and spending management.
### **🔍 Overview of Billing & Balance Settings**
Billing & balance settings allow Admin users to manage account configurations related to usage tracking, balance thresholds, recharge settings, and email alerts.
Maqsam operates on a monthly commitment-based billing model, starting from **$300 depending on the selected plan**, where usage is tracked and reflected through the account balance.

💡 Watch this quick video tutorial for an overview of how to manage balance details in your account.

#### **📊 Key Terms**
- **Uninvoiced Amount**: Total consumption not yet invoiced within the current billing period.
- **Available Balance**: Current account balance after payments, invoices, and usage deductions.
- **Threshold**: The account balance level that triggers an automatic recharge when reached.
- **Recharge To**: The target balance your account will be restored to after an automatic recharge.
- **Email Alerts**: Notifications sent to specified email addresses when consumption reaches a defined limit.
---
#### **⚡ How the System Works**
- The account balance is used to track and manage usage costs.
- Admins can set a **Recharge To** amount and a **Threshold** based on expected usage and budget preferences.
- Daily consumption is deducted from the account balance.
- When the balance drops **below the threshold**, an automatic recharge occurs to bring the balance up to the **Recharge To** amount.
- If the balance is above the threshold, **no recharge is triggered**.

#### **➕ How to Update Threshold and Recharge Amount**
Follow these steps to manage billing and balance settings:
1. Log in to your **Maqsam account** with an **Admin username** and **password**.
2. Navigate to **Settings** \> **Account Settings** \> **Billing**.
3. Click **Balance Details** under **Billing**.
4. Enter the desired amount in **Recharge To** to update the recharge target.
5. Enter the desired amount in **Automatic Recharge Threshold** to update the threshold.
6. Click **Update** to save changes.
