Your monthly usage allowance gives you access to Burp AT's features.

Whenever Burp AT works on a task, it uses some of your allowance. You can buy additional AI credits if you need more usage before your allowance resets.

Your Burp Suite Professional license includes a monthly Starter allowance for Burp AT. You can also buy additional Burp AT packages that provide a larger monthly allowance.

What affects usage

Longer or more complex tasks generally use more of your allowance. Usage consumption can also be affected by the reasoning effort you have selected for your task. Higher reasoning effort gives Burp AT more time for deep analysis, increasing usage. Likewise, setting a lower reasoning effort can reduce usage for routine work.

Goal loops have no fixed time or response limit. Broad goals may therefore lead to more work and use more of your allowance. Define a clear result and stopping point to focus the work.

Checking your Burp AT usage

To check your usage, select Settings > Usage in Burp AT.

The Usage dialog shows:

• Your package.

• How much of your monthly allowance you have used.

• Your next reset date.

• Your remaining additional credits, if you have any.

The Usage dialog displays a warning when your allowance runs low or runs out. If your account has no monthly allowance, the dialog shows your AI credit balance instead.

Additional credits

As well as your monthly allowance, you can also buy additional credits. This enables you to keep testing if you use your allowance up.

To buy additional credits, click Buy additional credits in the Usage dialog.

Unused purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase. The Usage dialog shows how many credits will expire and when.

Burp AT uses whichever of your monthly allowance and additional credits will expire first. If your additional credits expire before your allowance resets, Burp AT uses those credits first.

When your allowance runs out

Tasks stop when you have used both your allowance and any additional credits.

Depending on the Burp AT package you are on, you may be able to upgrade to a package with a larger allowance. Click Upgrade plan in the Usage dialog to view your options.
