      "account_id": "acc_19dm3nx8",
      "volume_band": "1M-10M",
      "credits_remaining": 98413,

      "rate_limit": { "requests_per_minute": 300, "concurrent_batch_jobs": 5 },
      "signals": {
        "active": 112,
        "paused": 3,
        "estimated_monthly_credits": 3520
      }
    },

  }
  ```

<Tip>
  `signals.estimated_monthly_credits` is your standing monitoring burn. Alert when `credits_remaining` drops below \~2× that number and Signals will never auto-pause on you.
