Wallet / Credit Drawdown

Fulfill & Bill Consume & Meter Critical capability Updated July 2026

Wallet / Credit Drawdown — Manages prepaid balances — credits, wallets, committed spend — and burns them down as usage arrives. Rated usage draws against the balance before anything hits an invoice, and low-balance states trigger alerts and auto top-up.

Where it sits in the lifecycle

Wallet / Credit Drawdown lives in the Consume & Meter phase of Fulfill & Bill — the stage where you activate what was sold, meter what's used, bill it right. In the corpus tool index this phase maps to the Meteringcategory.
