Hello!

Have been using codespae with pro plan and already exhausted the monthly credits. Now want to continue working on the repo by using pay as you go model. Have already updated the card details, yet not able to get the codespace instance running, can you please help/ suggest how to do this.

Best,

Check your Codespaces spending limit
By default, even with a payment method on file, your Codespaces spending limit might be set to $0.
Action: Go to your GitHub account settings, then Billing and plans, and then Spending limits. Verify that your Codespaces spending limit is set to a non-zero amount. If it's at $0, increase it (e.g., to $10 or more) to allow for pay-as-you-go usage.

How to Fix It

• Verify your payment method is active and valid
• Go to: https://github.com/settings/billing
• Check if your credit card is active, valid, and not blocked or limited.
• Sometimes GitHub requires additional card verification—check your email or notifications.
• Confirm pay-as-you-go billing is enabled
• In your billing settings, confirm your Codespaces plan is set to pay-as-you-go after credits run out.
• If unsure, contact GitHub Support to verify your account status.
• Check Codespaces permissions on the repository
• Make sure the repository allows Codespaces for your user.
• For private repos, confirm you have the required permissions.
• Try creating a new Codespace on a different repo
• This helps identify if the issue is repo-specific or account-wide.
