# **🔍 What Are Otto Hyperdrive Credits?**

Otto Hyperdrive credits power high-volume publishing actions inside Search Atlas, including distributing press releases through Otto. Each press release submission consumes a set number of Hyperdrive credits from your account balance. When your balance runs out, Otto stops the action and displays a **Quota Exhausted** error.

# **⚠️ Understanding the Quota Exhausted Error**

You will see a **Quota Exhausted** error when Otto attempts to publish or distribute a press release but your account does not have enough Hyperdrive credits to complete the action. This error means:

- Your current Hyperdrive credit balance is zero or too low to cover the cost of the press release submission.
- No press releases will be published until credits are topped up — existing scheduled tasks will remain paused.
- Your other Otto automations that rely on different credit pools are not affected.

# **🛠️ How to Top Up Your Hyperdrive Credits**

1. Log in to Search Atlas and click your **Avatar**, then go to **Billing** → **Plans & Top-ups**.
2. Locate the **Otto Hyperdrive** section on the **Plans & Top-ups** page.
3. Click **Top Up** (or the equivalent purchase button shown in your account).
4. Select the credit package that fits your publishing volume and confirm the purchase.
5. Once payment is processed, your new credit balance will update immediately and Otto will be able to resume press release publishing.

# **💡 Tips to Avoid Running Out of Credits**

- **Monitor your balance regularly.** Check your Hyperdrive credit balance before scheduling large batches of press releases.
- **Top up in advance.** Credits are applied instantly, but it is best practice to maintain a buffer so scheduled tasks are never interrupted.
- **Review credit costs per action.** The number of credits consumed per press release may vary depending on the distribution network selected. Check the cost shown in Otto before confirming a submission.

# **❓ Frequently Asked Questions**

**Will my scheduled press releases publish automatically once I top up?**  
Yes. As soon as your new credits are applied, Otto can process any pending or paused press release tasks. You may need to re-trigger the action if it was fully stopped.

**Do Hyperdrive credits expire?**  
Credit expiry terms depend on your subscription plan. Review your plan details inside the platform for specifics.

**Can I see a history of how my credits were used?**  
Credit usage logs may be available within the Otto Hyperdrive section of OTTO SEO. Check that area for a breakdown of recent activity.
