Automated Backendless Usage Threshold Alerts
Every few hours, WebRun opens the Backendless console, reads API call volume and database size against your plan's limit, logs the current reading to Airtable, and emails you only when usage is nearing the cap so an app doesn't get throttled without warning.
How do I get alerted before Backendless usage hits my plan limit?
WebRun checks your Backendless console every few hours, reading API call volume and database size against your plan's limit and logging the reading to Airtable for a running history. It emails you only when usage is genuinely nearing the cap, so a backend serving a live app never gets throttled without warning.
- Plan limits get flagged before a live app gets throttled
- A running usage history builds up in Airtable automatically
- Comfortable usage never triggers a false alarm

Questions, answered
Will it upgrade my plan automatically?
No. WebRun only reads and reports usage. Upgrading your plan stays a manual step you take yourself.
What counts as nearing the cap?
Usage getting close to the ceiling on your current plan, flagged early enough to upgrade before anything gets throttled.
Does it check every app under my account?
It checks the app you point it at. Add more than one and each gets its own usage reading and alert.
