What counts as an execution
Updated Oct 19, 2026
Executions are what the execution fee is based on. Here is exactly what is counted and what is not.
What counts
One comment, or one burst of messages, that a flow actually handles. Messages that arrive close together are a burst: we wait for 5 seconds of quiet, up to 20 seconds, and handle them as one.
A run where the AI decides not to reply still counts, and so does a reply that waits in your review queue. A wait and the reply that ends it are one execution, not two. Automatic retries are never counted twice.
What never counts
- Repeats of an event we already handled.
- Comments skipped by a cooldown.
- Opt-outs, and comments from authors you blocked.
- Messages in a conversation that is paused.
- Comments that match no rule.
Free and paid executions
The first 300 executions each month are free. After that each one costs $0.002, taken from your Credits. The free 300 follow the social account, so moving an account to another workspace does not give you a second 300.
The free executions reset every month and do not roll over.
Direct messages
Direct messages are not billed on their own and have no monthly cap. Technical rate limits protect your account from being flagged.
