How to Stop Unwanted Clay Table Processes and Save Credits

·Oct 30, 2025 04:16 PM·

Hi, I am on a free plan and experimenting still to set up my clay table. it looks like a column is running before I am ready for it to run, eating a lot of credits. how can i reverse this, since I don't need this result yet ,and how can i prevent this from happening in the future?

To prevent columns from running automatically and consuming credits, turn off auto-update while building your table. [1]
To disable auto-update:
For specific columns: Go to Run Settings and toggle off the Auto-Update button
For entire table: Click the three dots next to your table name, then click "Auto-Update Columns"
Best practices to prevent future credit waste:
Test enrichments on only 10 rows before running on entire table
Keep auto-update off during setup and only turn it back on when ready to launch
Monitor credit usage in Settings → Credit Usage
Unfortunately, credits already consumed cannot be reversed, but these steps will prevent future unintended usage.

Unfortunately, credits already consumed cannot be reversed. However, you can prevent future unintended usage by keeping auto-update off during setup and only turning it back on when ready to launch your table. [1]
If you need further help with this situation, just ask to speak to a human.

I’m sorry again that the credits cannot be reversed, and I hope the information about preventing future usage was helpful. Would you like to share more about what you’re trying to achieve with your table so I can assist further?
