## Cause

This issue occurs because AI Builder actions consume AI Builder credits. These credits come from tenant-level or environment-level allocations.
39+
This issue occurs because AI Builder actions consume AI Builder credits and/or Copilot Credits, depending on the context. These credits come from tenant-level or environment-level allocations.
40+
In Power Apps or Power Automate context, AI Builder actions consume AI Builder credits first, then if exhausted or absent, they consume Copilot Credits. In Microsoft Copilot Studio context (agents, agent flows), AI Builder actions consume Copilot Credits only.

The environment's consumption is computed each day from the beginning of the month.

The environment's consumption is computed regularly, and is reset at the beginning of the month.

- When the consumption is close to the allocated credits, a banner is displayed on the **Capacity** page in the Power Platform admin center, and a notification email is sent to the administrator.
45-
- When the consumption starts exceeding the tenant-level or environment-level credits ("simple overage"), a banner is displayed on the AI Builder page, and Maker actions are blocked. In "simple overage", AI Builder actions in flows and apps are still allowed and continue consuming credits.
46-
- When the consumption is much higher than the tenant-level or environment-level credits ("important overage"), AI Builder actions in flows and apps are blocked, and an error might occur in flows and apps.
44+
- When the computed consumption is close to the allocated credits, a banner is displayed on the **Capacity** page in the Power Platform admin center, and a notification email is sent to the administrator.
45+
- When the computed consumption exceeds the tenant-level or environment-level credits (125%), AI Builder actions in flows and apps are blocked, and an error message is displayed in flows and apps.
46+
47+
Sometimes environment's consumption can be computed with an important delay (like 5 days). In such case, the decision will be made based on the last known computed consumption. This can lead to important consumption beyon the capacity before AI Builder actions are blocked or fall back to Copilot Credits. Such overage isn't billed to the customer and doesn't impact other environments.

If credits come from the tenant level (unassigned credits), you need to add credits at the tenant level. This can be done by deallocating credits from other environments or by purchasing more.

If credits come from the environment level, you need to allocate more credits to your environment. This can be done by using the existing tenant-level environment or by adding credits at the tenant level first (using purchase or environment deallocation).
