# Update auto-recharge

> Turns auto-recharge on or off and sets its threshold and target, with the dashboard's rules. Needs the billing permission on the key or sign-in, and the person behind it must be a workspace owner or manager. `threshold_usd` and `target_usd` are required even to turn it off.

  title: Runcrate API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: OpenAI-compatible inference API + GPU infrastructure API.
  description: >-
    Runcrate exposes two API surfaces. The inference API at
    `https://api.runcrate.ai/v1` is OpenAI-compatible: it accepts the standard
    OpenAI SDK with the base URL changed. The infrastructure API at
    `https://www.runcrate.ai/api/v1` manages GPU instances, jobs, persistent
    volumes, environments, SSH keys, templates, and billing. Both share a single
    `rc_live_*` API key.


    Pricing is per-token, per-image, per-second, or per-minute on the inference
    API (varies by model; see https://www.runcrate.ai/api/models/catalog for
    live rates) and per-second on GPU rentals (see
    https://www.runcrate.ai/pricing for hourly rates per GPU class).


    All infrastructure API responses are wrapped in `{ "data": ... }`. List
    responses also include a `meta` object with pagination cursors. Error
    responses use `{ "error": { "code": "...", "message": "..." } }`.
