Running out of credits mid-message now pauses your work is Lovable's Agent feature: If your workspace runs out of credits while Lovable is working on a message, the message now pauses rather than ending, and a card in chat….
If your workspace runs out of credits while Lovable is working on a message, the message now pauses rather than ending, and a card in chat lets you decide what happens next. Choose Add credits to top up and resume the message where it left off, or Wrap up to have Lovable finish what's in progress and stop instead of starting anything new. If you can't manage billing for the workspace, the card shows Ask an admin instead, and once credits are available again, for example after an admin tops up or a new grant arrives, the card offers Resume . There is no deadline: paused work waits until you decide. The pause applies to Build mode messages you send in the editor.
Example workflows
Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

You have read the record and want Running out of credits mid-message now pauses your work working in a real project rather than a sandbox.
Set up Running out of credits mid-message now pauses your work in this project — if your workspace runs out of credits while Lovable is working on a message, the message now pauses rather than ending, and a card in.

Expected outcomeA working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.
Decide whether it fits your project

Expected outcomeA direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

Write a short note for my team about Running out of credits mid-message now pauses your work in Lovable — if your workspace runs out of credits while Lovable is working on a message, the message now pauses rather than ending, and a card in.
