Common Issues & Solutions

Can't access billing settings

Only account owners or users with billing permissions can access billing. Contact your account owner to grant permissions or request invoices.

Team/Enterprise billing

For Heroku Teams or Enterprise, billing may be managed at the team level. Access the team billing section instead of personal account billing.

Understanding usage charges

Heroku charges for dyno hours, add-ons, and data services. Review your invoice details to see breakdown by app and resource type.

Free dyno hours

Free tier accounts don't generate invoices unless you add paid resources. Billing starts when you upgrade dynos or add paid add-ons.
