Notion AI credits 2026 replace the earlier flat usage allowance with separate per-seat pools and an optional workspace add-on. Business and Enterprise plans receive 1,500 Standard credits plus 500 Select credits per member each month. The change takes effect for existing workspaces on November 2, 2026.

Standard credits cover tasks routed automatically by Notion, such as AI editing, translation, blocks, formulas and AI Meeting Notes after December 1. Select credits apply when users choose a specific model or run their own Custom Agents. Neither pool rolls over; both reset at the start of each billing cycle.

Notion Business Plan Limits and Credit Allocation

Admins can view exact remaining balances in Settings → Notion AI → Usage. Alerts trigger when either pool nears exhaustion. If limits are reached, features pause unless the workspace admin turns on Notion credits, the paid add-on that supplies additional usage at roughly $10 per 1,000 credits.

Notion credits also fund high-consumption models such as Fable and Astra, workspace-funded Custom Agents and agent runs through the API. The add-on is disabled by default. Workers in beta currently consume no credits, and standard API actions stay under separate rate limits that do not draw from AI credit pools.

Pre-transition Custom Agents may draw from workspace Notion credits after migration. New agents default to the owner’s Select credits even when shared; admins can reassign funding and set budgets through the admin dashboard. The forthcoming AI Command Center will add dashboards and governance controls.

Notion Agent Runtime Upgrades and Migration Steps

The October 19, 2026 update introduced a sixth-generation harness that supports tasks longer than 24 hours through durable execution, dedicated services and queue-backed workers. Earlier runs were limited to roughly five minutes. The Auto model router now delivers frontier-comparable output at about 90 percent lower average cost, so the same monthly credits stretch further on routine work.

Custom Agents built before November 2 continue to operate but should be reviewed for credit source after migration. Owners can test agents against Select credits first, then move high-volume agents to Notion credits if needed. Computer and browser actions for scripts are now supported, along with a “Review for me” safety mode that inserts human checkpoints.

AI Meeting Notes begin consuming Standard credits on December 1 at roughly 10 credits per one-hour meeting on the Auto setting. Teams that rely on meeting summaries should monitor usage in the first weeks of December to confirm the new allocation covers their volume.

Most teams will not exhaust the combined 2,000 credits because the efficiency gains from the new router reduce consumption on common tasks. Admins should still set alerts and review the continuation toggle before the November 2 transition date.

so basically we get 1500 normal ones plus 500 premium each month for the whole company? wondering if that covers a team of 30 writers
Diego
migration starting nov 2026 seems pretty far away, gives us time to plan usage dashboards ahead
Priya M
does the Enterprise plan get any extra buffer for overages or is it strictly capped?
sam_k
tried the beta credits already, Select ones are useful for the longer summaries
Hannah
anyone else worried the 500 Select credits will run out fast during product launches?
Tom R
November is after our fiscal year closes, so our budget renewal is perfectly timed
Mira
i wish they listed the exact cost per extra credit block instead of making us contact sales
Jonas
the credit system actually feels fairer than the old unlimited plan for big teams
luca
we switched to Notion AI for meeting notes, hope 2000 total credits is enough for 15 daily users
Elena Voss
the runtime limits for agents sound interesting, curious what the practical cap per minute is
