Traffic, coins and top-ups

Time · ~5 min Level · Beginner For · billing & usage

LRO billing has two parts, and once you see them it is simple. A per-agent subscription keeps an agent active and includes a traffic bucket; traffic beyond that bucket is metered. Everything is denominated in coin, which you top up with real currency. This guide shows where each lives in the panel.

The currency is the coin. You top your balance up by card; subscriptions and traffic are charged from it. Current plans and the per-GB rate are always shown on the pricing section and in the panel — this guide explains the mechanics, not a fixed price.

Top up your coin balance
My balance shows your current balance and recent activity: coin spent, coin bought and traffic used over the selected window, with a per-agent breakdown. Top up adds coin by card.

Fig 1. The balance page — what you have, what you spent and bought, and where the traffic went.
Subscribe an agent and watch its traffic
Open an agent and its Billing tab. Here you see the plan and its price, the active-until date, and the traffic remaining in the current bucket. An agent without a plan cannot open tunnels — subscribing is what activates it (only the side that opens tunnels, the client, needs a plan).

Fig 2. Per-agent billing — plan, traffic remaining, auto-renew and auto top-up, with a traffic-package picker.
Buy traffic or enable auto top-up
When an agent is busy, you have three levers, all on that Billing tab:
- Buy a traffic package — add a chunk of traffic to the agent immediately from Buy traffic topup → select a package.
- Auto-renew — let the subscription renew itself at the end of the period so the agent never lapses.
- Auto top-up traffic — automatically buy more traffic when the bucket runs low, up to a limit you set, so long-running tunnels don’t stall.
Set these per agent under Billing settings. They draw from your coin balance, so keep it funded (or let auto top-up of the balance, where available, handle it).

Notes

Subscription + traffic — the plan keeps the agent active and includes a bucket; traffic beyond the bucket is metered per GB. Idle agents use no traffic, but the subscription still applies.
Client pays, support is free — only the agent that opens tunnels (the client) needs a subscription. The support side — your own machine — does not.
See where it went — the stream log breaks traffic down per tunnel and per agent; the balance page summarises it per agent.
Coin is the currency — one balance funds every agent, subscription and traffic package. Top it up by card; current plans and rates are on the pricing section.

One balance, clear usage, no surprises.
