Google Workspace Updates: AI credit overages admin control and related billing (original) (raw)

October 21, 2025

What’s changing

We previously announced an increased credit limit of 25,000 credits per user per month for Google AI Ultra for Business users. Now, we're adding a new admin control that enables admins to allow users with an Google AI Ultra for Business license to exceed their 25,000 per user per month AI credit limit. If a customer turns on this setting and has users who exceed their monthly allocation, then we'll send them an invoice at the end of the month to pay for any overages.

We hope this additional control will enable admins to make sure their users have the right amount of access to the tools they need.

Additional details

• Pricing depends on your local currency. You can use the Admin console to review specific pricing for credit overages in your region before you enable this feature.
• Your organization is billed only for the additional credits they use. You'll see a separate line item on your monthly invoice for any additional credits used during the previous billing cycle.
• You can't enable credit overages if your account is managed by a reseller.

Getting started

• Admins:
  • This setting will be OFF by default, which prevents users from exceeding their monthly credit allocation. Admins can turn the setting on or off by OU or group as well as set a maximum limit on how much users are allowed to exceed the limit. Use our Help Center to learn more about Google AI Ultra for Business credits and how they're consumed and how to enable credits overages for Google AI Ultra for Business users.
  • You can monitor AI credit consumption through admin audit logs.
• End users:
  • If enabled by their admin, users will be able to continue using Flow and Whisk until they reach their monthly maximum AI credit limit as set by their administrator. Learn more about Flow and Whisk.
  • Users can check their available credits and review past activity in Flow and Whisk at https://workspace.google.com/ai/activity.

Rollout pace

• The Admin console setting is available now. Credit overages will begin accruing on November 1, 2025.
