Implements the first defect in recoupable/chat#1960. Row 3 of that issue's PR matrix.

The credit gate charged a saved card off-session unless the customer had opted out via a Stripe customer metadata key (auto_recharge_opt_out) they had to know existed to set. Over the 30 days to 2026-08-17 it collected $0. Per the decision recorded on the issue it is removed rather than inverted to opt-in: an opt-in top-up would be a feature with a known-zero conversion rate and a live card-charging blast radius.

A charge now requires an action the account took: POST /api/credits/sessions.

What changes

The gatelib/credits/autoRechargeOrFail.tslib/credits/checkCreditsAvailable.ts

The charge branch (old L78-86), the opt-out consent gate (old L56) and the in-thread credit increment are gone. What remains reads remaining_credits and reports. 120 lines → 61.

Renamed deliberately: a function called autoRechargeOrFail that never auto-recharges is exactly the kind of drift this issue exists to remove. The eight credit-gated call sites go through ensureCreditsOrShortCircuit, whose signature is unchanged, so none of them needed edits for this.

Deleted

File Why
lib/stripe/getAutoRechargeOptOut.ts, setAutoRechargeOptOut.ts Nothing to opt out of
lib/billing/getAutoRechargeHandler.ts, updateAutoRechargeHandler.ts No setting to read or write
lib/billing/validateAutoRechargeParams.ts, validateUpdateAutoRechargeBody.ts Validators for the deleted handlers
app/api/accounts/[id]/auto-recharge/route.ts GET, PATCH and OPTIONS all go
lib/stripe/notifyCreditsTopupPaymentIntent.ts + its stripeWebhookHandler call See below
6 test files for the above

notifyCreditsTopupPaymentIntent fired only for PaymentIntents stamped purpose === "credits_auto_recharge". No such PaymentIntent can be created any more, so the hook was dead. I checked that no surviving path loses its notification: manual top-ups notify from checkout.session.completed via notifyCreditsTopupSession, subscription charges via invoice.paid, and the consented off-session top-up stamps credits_topup, which this hook never matched.

chargeCustomerOffSession is kept. It has a second caller, createCreditsSessionHandler L21, which is the consented POST /api/credits/sessions path where a human asked to buy credits and charging a saved card is the right thing to do. grep -rn chargeCustomerOffSession lib app outside tests now returns exactly that one call site.

ConstantsCREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_PURPOSE deleted. CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_CREDITSCREDIT_SHORTFALL_TOPUP_CREDITS and CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_FALLBACK_SUCCESS_URLCREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL. The issue listed all three as deletions in this PR, but two are still load-bearing: they size the Checkout Session that a 402 still mints. They are renamed here so no AUTO_RECHARGE identifier survives, and deleted by the follow-on PR that stops minting the session.

declineReason off the 402. It could only ever be populated by an off-session charge, so with no charge in the gate it is unreachable rather than optional. Removed from AutoRechargeOrFailResult, InsufficientCreditsBody and ensureCreditsOrShortCircuit. It stays on POST /api/credits/sessions, where a real decline still happens, so open-agents' credits-topup dialog (which parses that response, not the 402) is unaffected. The buildInsufficientCreditsResponse docstring claiming the two shapes are interchangeable is corrected, since that claim is what invited the field onto the 402 in the first place.

Verification

TDD, red before green:

  1. Wrote lib/credits/__tests__/checkCreditsAvailable.test.ts first, with the new contract (no charge on any path, no opt-out read, no declineReason). Ran it: REDCannot find module '@/lib/credits/checkCreditsAvailable', 1 failed / no tests.
  2. Implemented. GREEN — 7 passed.
  3. Rewrote ensureCreditsOrShortCircuit.test.ts against the new module, including a test that a declineReason on the gate result is still not put on the body. Ran it: RED (mocked module no longer imported). Implemented. GREEN.

Full runs:

Check Result
vitest run lib/credits lib/stripe lib/billing lib/research lib/socials lib/chat app/api/webhooks app/api/credits app/api/accounts 220 files / 1253 tests passed
eslint on every file in the diff clean (one prettier/prettier from the const rename, fixed)
tsc --noEmit 202 errors, identical to the count on the unmodified checkout, and zero in any file this PR touches. All 202 are pre-existing test-fixture type mismatches in lib/tasks, lib/trigger, lib/chats, lib/credits/__tests__/getCreditUsage.test.ts and similar
grep -rn "AUTO_RECHARGE|AutoRecharge|autoRecharge|auto_recharge|auto-recharge" lib app no matches

Stale prose also corrected in handleResearch.ts, handleArtistResearch.ts and app/api/subscriptions/card-on-file/route.ts, all of which described auto-recharge as the reason their code exists.

Not yet done: the issue's live Done-when check (a credit-gated endpoint on a zero-balance account with a saved card returns 402 with no new PaymentIntent on that Stripe customer) against the preview deployment. Flagging rather than implying it.

Merge order

  1. docs#299 — the contract
  2. chat#1961 — removes the account-modal toggle that calls the route this PR deletes. Must land before this PR or production keeps a switch that 404s.
  3. This PR
  4. The follow-on PR that stops minting a Checkout Session on every 402, which is branched off this one.

Summary by cubic

Removes off-session credit auto-recharge so the credit gate never charges saved cards. Previously it charged unless a hidden Stripe opt-out existed; now the gate checks balance and returns 402 with a Checkout URL, and charges only happen via POST /api/credits/sessions.

  • Replaces @/lib/credits/autoRechargeOrFail with @/lib/credits/checkCreditsAvailable: no charging, no Stripe opt-out read, no in-thread credit increment. ensureCreditsOrShortCircuit still short-circuits with a 402; call sites remain unchanged.
  • Deletes /api/accounts/[id]/auto-recharge (GET/PATCH/OPTIONS) and related handlers/validators and Stripe helpers (getAutoRechargeOptOut, setAutoRechargeOptOut).
  • Drops declineReason from 402 responses; it remains on POST /api/credits/sessions. Updates comments/docs to describe current behavior only.
  • Removes auto-recharge PaymentIntent notifications and the webhook call; manual top-ups still notify from checkout.session.completed, subscriptions from invoice.paid.
  • Renames constants: CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_CREDITSCREDIT_SHORTFALL_TOPUP_CREDITS; CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_FALLBACK_SUCCESS_URLCREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL (https://app.recoupable.dev); deletes CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_PURPOSE. Keeps chargeCustomerOffSession for the consented POST /api/credits/sessions path.
  • Clarifies card-on-file route docs: saving a card enables future POST /api/credits/sessions top-ups and never authorizes a charge on its own.

Migration

  • Remove any UI and calls to /api/accounts/[id]/auto-recharge; they now 404.
  • Stop reading declineReason from 402 responses; only handle it on POST /api/credits/sessions.
  • Update callers using the fallback success URL to CREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL.

Written for commit 8754d5f. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added credit availability checks that direct customers to a hosted top-up checkout when their balance is insufficient.
    • Standardized credit-shortfall redirects across research, chat, and social features.
    • Saved cards can now support future credit top-ups without re-entering payment details.
  • Changes

    • Removed automatic recharge settings and automatic balance replenishment.
    • Credit-shortfall responses now provide clearer balance and top-up information.
    • Removed automated top-up payment notifications.

The credit gate charged a saved card off-session unless the customer had
opted out of a Stripe metadata key they were never told existed
(recoupable/chat#1960). Over the 30 days to 2026-08-17 it collected $0.
Consent for a charge now has to be an action the account took: buying
credits through POST /api/credits/sessions.

- lib/credits/autoRechargeOrFail.ts -> checkCreditsAvailable.ts. The charge
  branch, the opt-out gate and the credit increment are gone; what remains
  reads the balance and reports. Renamed because a function called
  "autoRechargeOrFail" that never auto-recharges is the drift this issue is
  about.
- Deleted lib/stripe/{get,set}AutoRechargeOptOut.ts, lib/billing/{get,update}
  AutoRechargeHandler.ts, validateAutoRechargeParams.ts,
  validateUpdateAutoRechargeBody.ts and
  app/api/accounts/[id]/auto-recharge/route.ts (GET, PATCH, OPTIONS).
- Deleted lib/stripe/notifyCreditsTopupPaymentIntent.ts and its
  stripeWebhookHandler call. It only ever fired for PIs stamped
  purpose === "credits_auto_recharge", so no such PI can exist any more.
  Manual top-ups still notify from their checkout session and subscription
  charges from invoice.paid, so no surviving path loses a notification.
- CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_PURPOSE deleted. CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_CREDITS and
  CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_FALLBACK_SUCCESS_URL renamed to
  CREDIT_SHORTFALL_TOPUP_CREDITS / CREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL; they still
  size the Checkout Session offered on a 402 and are deleted by the
  follow-on PR that stops minting it.
- declineReason removed from the 402 envelope. It could only be produced by
  an off-session charge, so it is now unreachable rather than optional. It
  stays on POST /api/credits/sessions, where a decline still happens.

chargeCustomerOffSession is deliberately kept: createCreditsSessionHandler
is its second caller and that is the consented path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes automatic recharge and its API support. Credit gates now create hosted top-up sessions when balances are insufficient. Credit shortfall callers use a new success URL, and Stripe payment-intent notifications are no longer sent.

Changes

Credit shortfall flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credit availability gate

Removes automatic-recharge endpoints, validation, Stripe metadata helpers, recharge processing, and payment-intent notification delivery.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 89638

The PR stops automatic off-session charges and keeps explicit top-ups, but concurrent requests can still pass the credit check without reserving balance, potentially consuming more paid service than the account can cover. Shortfall checkout completion also points to the sandbox profile URL. These bounded correctness and production-configuration issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Poem

Credits wait behind a gate,
A checkout link now marks their fate.

Confidence score: 2/5

  • In lib/credits/ensureCreditsOrShortCircuit.ts, the first credit-gated request after a refill/subscription event can read a stale balance and incorrectly return 402 with a paid Checkout Session, risking false paywalls and failed first-run access for paying users — force a balance refresh/recompute before short-circuiting to 402.
  • In lib/credits/checkCreditsAvailable.ts, the checkout sizing underestimates needed credits for artists with >4 linked profiles at 100 posts (selling 500 while cost can exceed that), so users can pay and still remain blocked — size the session to at least the computed request cost for the current profile/post count.

Valid observation, wrong PR. The gate has never been reset-aware: main's autoRechargeOrFail reads selectCreditsUsage directly too (L45-46), so a first credit-gated request after a refill boundary hits the same stale balance today. This PR changes what happens after the read, not the read. Pre-existing, not a regression — logged as a follow-up candidate on chat#1960 rather than folded into a removal PR. Worth noting the blast radius shrinks with this stack: under main the stale read could trigger an off-session charge; here it costs at most one spurious 402 until anything reads the balance.

True but pre-existing (CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE_CREDITS was already a flat 500 on main for the same fallback session) and deliberately not fixed here: the stacked #836 deletes the session minting from the gate entirely, so there is no session left to size. Sizing logic added now would be deleted one PR later.

Preview verification — live, against real Stripe

Tested the PR-head preview (f39bd854api-mp4lhggh2-recoup.vercel.app, deployment found via the GitHub deployments API by that sha) with a real Privy bearer, on the account fb678396…9ce77b — which happens to be the exact Done-when scenario: a saved card on file (Visa •4598, exp 12/2030) and, for the duration of the test, a balance below the gate.

Safety setup first, because the preview shares the prod DB and prod's gate still charges: before lowering the balance, the account was opted out on prod via PATCH /api/accounts/{id}/auto-recharge {"enabled": false} (the route still exists there), so a prod request landing in the low-balance window could not have charged the card. Balance was dropped to 1 via an audited admin grant (grant_id 8d25bcb0…, reason [TEST] chat#1960 api#835 preview verification…), and both were restored immediately after (balance back to 999,949,777, verified by re-read; opt-in re-enabled as found).

Documented vs actual

# Check (issue Done-when) Expected Actual
1 Credit-gated endpoint, short balance, saved card 402, no charge attempt GET /api/research/metrics?artist=…&source=spotify at balance 1 → 3× HTTP 402 in ~1.0–1.5s each
2 402 body shape error, remaining_credits, required_credits, checkoutUrl; no declineReason Exactly {"error":"insufficient_credits","remaining_credits":1,"required_credits":5,"checkoutUrl":"…cs_live_…"} — no declineReason on any of the 3, despite the saved card
3 No new PaymentIntent on the Stripe customer 0 Stripe (live mode, cus_T4WUnBhrdcSTVh): PaymentIntents created >= T0: 0. Charges since T0: 0. Under main's code this exact scenario (short + saved card + not opted out on the preview's read path) produces a $5 off-session PI
4 Balance untouched by the gate Still 1 Re-read after 3 probes: remaining_credits: 1 — no deduction, and no +500 increment that the old charge path would have applied
5 GET /api/accounts/{id}/auto-recharge 404 404
6 PATCH /api/accounts/{id}/auto-recharge 404 404
7 OPTIONS on the deleted route route gone 204 — the platform's generic preflight for unknown paths, not our handler (the route file no longer exists; GET/PATCH on the same path 404)
8 Auth 401 without credentials, no secret echoed {"status":"error","error":"Exactly one of x-api-key or Authorization must be provided"}, HTTP 401
9 Static-analysis Done-when grep -r "chargeCustomerOffSession|auto_recharge_opt_out|CREDIT_AUTO_RECHARGE" api/ → only the consented caller Verified at PR time: sole non-test chargeCustomerOffSession reference is createCreditsSessionHandler L21

Expected-and-confirmed: the sessions this PR does not fix

The 3 probes minted 3 new Checkout Sessions (cs_live_b15rkt…, cs_live_b1fQO9…, cs_live_b1ewhp… — all open/unpaid, purpose credits_topup, one per 402). That is precisely the behaviour api#836 removes, and why the issue says removing the charge "does not fix this on its own." Treat these 3 as live evidence for #836's motivation. I attempted to expire them; the restricted Stripe key lacks checkout_session_write, so they will self-expire in 24h — unpaid, on our own account.

Cleanup ledger

State touched During test Restored
credits_usage.remaining_credits (shared DB) 999,949,777 → 1 → 999,949,777, verified by re-read ✅
Prod auto-recharge opt-out enabled → disabled (charge-risk guard) → enabled, as found ✅
Stripe +3 unpaid Checkout Sessions self-expire in 24h ⏳
Audit trail 2 grants recorded with [TEST]-prefixed reasons intentionally permanent

Merge order

docs#299 ✅ → chat#1961 ✅ → this PR (unblocked, ready) → api#836 (stacked on this branch).

One post-merge note: the docs published by #299 describe the #836 envelope (billingUrl), while this PR still returns checkoutUrl on the 402. That mismatch closes only when #836 lands, which is one more reason to merge the pair back-to-back.

Fixed in eeae2f6: CREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL = "https://app.recoupable.dev". Worse than the wrong domain — sandbox.recoupable.com no longer resolves at all (connection fails), so every session's success redirect was a dead end.

Verified live on the rebuilt preview (8754d5fbapi-gd4whvaui-recoup.vercel.app): drove a 402 and fetched the minted session from Stripe directly — success_url: https://app.recoupable.dev.

Propagated to the stacked #836 as well: CREDIT_BILLING_URL is now "https://app.recoupable.dev" (a literal, no longer aliased to CHAT_APP_URL). One knock-on: the docs merged in docs#299/docs#300 show billingUrl: "https://chat.recoupable.dev" in the 402 examples — that needs a one-line docs follow-up when #836 merges.

  short balance 402s with a checkoutUrl and the gate never charges a card.
- checkCreditsAvailable's JSDoc claimed the gate "never moves money" full
  stop; on a shortfall it still resolves the Stripe customer and mints the
  Checkout Session behind checkoutUrl. The JSDoc now says so, and notes the
  follow-up PR removes those writes too.
- Dropped the dead incrementRemainingCredits mock and its trivially-passing
  assertions from checkCreditsAvailable.test.ts.
Comment thread lib/credits/const.ts Outdated
* Callers can plug their own URL when they have request context; the chat
* stream and shared research helpers don't, so this is the sane default.
* Points at the app root: the previous value lived on
* `sandbox.recoupable.com`, a host that no longer resolves.

Fixed in 8754d5f, and swept for the pattern rather than just this line. Removed from this branch: the sandbox aside here, the "charge this replaces is gone" / follow-up-PR narration on checkCreditsAvailable, the "used to be described as interchangeable" history on buildInsufficientCreditsResponse, and a test comment referencing the removed opt-in path. git diff origin/main grepped for used to|no longer|previously|was removed|is gone|this replaces over added lines now returns nothing.

Applied the same sweep to the other three open branches: #836 (the "2,779 sessions" and sandbox narration on CREDIT_BILLING_URL, the "unbounded writer" history on the envelope, two test comments), #837 (the "it used to SET the plan total" paragraph on checkAndResetCredits and its test preamble), #838 (the "it used to report an expires_at" paragraph on postAdminCreditsHandler and its test comment). All four pushed, suites green.

Make credit admission atomic.

Lines 37-40 read a balance without reserving credits. Two concurrent requests can both return available before either caller records a deduction. Both requests can then consume paid upstream work for the same credits.

Reserve credits with a conditional database operation. Finalize the reservation on success. Release it on failure.

Review feedback on #835 (YAGNI, second round): comments must state what the
code does, not what it used to do. Removed the sandbox-domain aside on
CREDIT_SHORTFALL_SUCCESS_URL, the "charge this replaces is gone" and
follow-up-PR narration on checkCreditsAvailable, the "used to be described
as interchangeable" history on buildInsufficientCreditsResponse, and a
test comment referencing the removed opt-in path.

Confidence score: 4/5

  • In lib/credits/const.ts, the fallback successUrl now points to app.recoupable.dev without /settings/profile, so post-checkout/card-save flows can land users on the app root instead of their profile settings, which may interrupt completion of the intended billing workflow — restore the /settings/profile path (or equivalent destination) in the fallback URL.

Final preview verification — rev 8754d5fb

Re-ran the full pass against the rebuilt preview (api-gd4whvaui-recoup.vercel.app, deployment found by the new head sha) after the review fixes. Same safety protocol as the first pass: prod opt-out flipped before the low-balance window, everything restored after.

Check Result
402 body {error, remaining_credits: 1, required_credits: 5, checkoutUrl} — 4 fields, no declineReason, cs_live_ session
Minted session's success_url (the review fix) https://app.recoupable.dev — fetched from Stripe directly for the exact session the 402 returned
PaymentIntents on cus_T4WUnBhrdcSTVh since T0 0
Charges since T0 0
GET / PATCH /api/accounts/{id}/auto-recharge 404 / 404
Unauthenticated credit-gated route 401
Balance after probe 1 (no deduction, no increment), then restored to 999,949,777 (verified by re-read); prod opt-in re-enabled

Review findings disposition: both of Sweets' comments fixed (eeae2f60, 8754d5fb) and the deleted-code sweep applied to all four open branches. Cubic: stale comments (3×) and the dead test mock — fixed in the same commits; side-effects JSDoc — fixed (checkCreditsAvailable now states it mints the 402's session); refill-boundary stale read — pre-existing on main, logged as a follow-up on chat#1960; session sizing — mooted by #836, which deletes the session minting.

One open item for the maintainer: the merged docs show billingUrl: "https://chat.recoupable.dev" in the 402 examples; with CREDIT_BILLING_URL now app.recoupable.dev in #836, a one-line docs follow-up is needed when #836 lands.

Ready to merge.

The api returns billingUrl: https://app.recoupable.dev (CREDIT_BILLING_URL,
set per review on recoupable/api#835). The 402 examples in credits.mdx and
the three OpenAPI specs said chat.recoupable.dev. One-line value fix in each.
