Where do I see my auto-refill history?

Last updated May 20, 2026Auto-refill

Every auto-refill attempt — successful or otherwise — is recorded in a dedicated history view inside the Valid Email Checker dashboard. This is the page to open when you need to confirm a refill landed, debug why one failed, or pull an audit trail for accounting. It is separate from the general Credits History page (which records every credit movement of every kind); the Auto-Refill History focuses specifically on the refill events themselves.

Getting to the page

Sign in to your dashboard. In the sidebar, navigate to Account Settings, then to the Auto-Refill section, then click History. The history loads paginated at 20 rows per page, sorted newest first.

What each row tells you

ColumnWhat it shows
Date/TimeWhen the refill attempt happened, in your local timezone
Trigger BalanceYour credit balance at the moment the threshold check fired
Refill AmountHow many credits the refill added (including bonus credits) and the USD price
ProcessorWhich payment processor handled the charge (Stripe / Paddle) plus the timing mode used (Aggressive / Balanced / Scheduled)
StatusSuccess, Failed, or Pending
ActionsExpand the row to see the transaction ID, threshold setting at the time, the error message (for failures), and the precise processed_at timestamp

Filtering and exporting

A dropdown at the top of the page filters by status: All, Success, Failed, Pending. Picking Failed is the fastest way to triage what went wrong if your auto-refill auto-suspended. The Export CSV button below the dropdown downloads the currently-filtered view as a comma-separated file with all the same columns plus the underlying payment-intent ID and the raw error message. Useful for accounting reconciliation or for forwarding to support along with a ticket.

Reading a failed row

When you expand a failed row, the most important field is the Error Message. Common ones:

  • Your card has insufficient funds. — the bank declined for funds. Add cash or use a different card.
  • Your card was declined. — generic bank decline. The bank often does not tell us why; you usually need to call them.
  • Your card has expired. — update the card before re-enabling auto-refill.
  • authentication_required — the bank wants you to complete a 3-D Secure challenge, which is not possible for an automated background charge. Use a card that does not require 3DS, or pre-authorize via a one-time manual purchase.

How history relates to Credits History

A successful Auto-Refill row in this history page corresponds to one row in your main Credits History with transaction_type = auto_refill. A failed row does not appear in Credits History at all — no credits moved, so the unified ledger has nothing to record. If you are reconciling against accounting, the Auto-Refill History is the source of truth for attempts, and Credits History is the source of truth for credit movements.

If you cannot remember when you last enabled auto-refill or which timing mode it was using at a particular moment, the per-row threshold and timing-mode fields here let you reconstruct the configuration history without digging into support logs.
