Bubble App Offline After Reaching Workload Limit

Workaround available Web, Mobile Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

A Bubble app goes offline when it uses all included workload units plus any tier and overages are disabled (always the case on Free). Enable overages or buy a workload tier to bring it back, then reduce usage.

Most likely fix: Enable overages to restore the app.

Symptoms

Live app stops loading for users after a workload email; usage shows 100% of the monthly allotment.

Why it happens

  • Overages disabled in plan settings
  • Free plan, which cannot enable overages or buy tiers
  • Unexpected spike from a bulk job or traffic

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Enable overages to restore the app

    1. Open Settings > App plan
    2. Turn on overages ($0.30 per 1K WU on Starter, Growth and Team)
    3. Reload the live app

  2. 2. Buy a workload tier

    1. In Settings > App plan, choose a workload tier
    2. Tiers also lower the overage rate to $0.10-$0.15 per 1K WU

  3. 3. Upgrade from Free

    1. Free apps can't add workload; upgrade to Starter ($59/mo billed annually) to get 175K WU and overages

  4. 4. Wait for the monthly reset

    1. If you want to cap spend, keep overages off and wait for the allotment to reset at the start of the next cycle
