Automated Netlify Usage Limit Monitoring
Every morning, WebRun opens Netlify, reads build minutes and bandwidth used so far in the billing cycle, compares them against your plan limits and the days remaining, posts the usage picture to Slack, and messages you on Telegram when you are on pace to go over.
How do I avoid going over my Netlify build minutes and bandwidth?
Every morning WebRun opens Netlify, reads build minutes and bandwidth used so far this cycle, and compares them against your plan limits with the days remaining. It posts the picture to Slack and messages you on Telegram when you are on pace to go over, before the charge lands.
- Overage risk is flagged with days left in the cycle, not after the invoice
- A runaway build loop is caught by its jump in deploy count
- Usage is broken down per site so the cause is named
Built for engineering leads · web agencies · platform teams · startup CTOs

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Can it upgrade my plan or stop a build?
No. WebRun reads usage and reports it. It never changes a plan, adds an add-on, cancels a build, pauses a site, or spends money on your account.
Will it message me every morning?
No. The Slack post goes up daily as a record, but the Telegram message only fires when your current pace projects past a plan limit before the cycle ends.
How does it spot a runaway build loop?
It tracks each site's deploy count day over day and flags any site whose builds jumped sharply, so a loop is visible before it eats the month's minutes.
