    Sorry you have to deal with this. You can stay on Atlassian Cloud. Here is what to change before December 3, 2026:

1. Look at your usage. Open the Platform usage dashboard in Atlassian Administration under Insights. Note which meters are near the allowance.
2. Set a limit on each meter. In Billing, pick a meter. Turn off extra usage, or keep it on with a usage limit.
3. Trim heavy automation rules. Each part of a rule that runs counts as steps. Fix rules that run too often before December 3.

    Switch from Atlassian Cloud to Your product

    Atlassian Cloud Automation and usage meters: a change is due by December 3. You can stay on Atlassian Cloud. If you would rather leave, here is how to move to Your product.

    What changes at Atlassian Cloud

    From December 3, 2026, Atlassian Cloud bills for use past your plan, like rule steps. This is on by default. Enterprise plans lose unlimited rule runs.

    • Billing begins for most meters: December 3, 2026 (Atlassian)
    • Exact timing: Can depend on the capability and your billing cadence (Atlassian)
    • Extra usage: Enabled by default; usage goes on past your included allowance (Atlassian)
    • Enterprise plans: No longer have unlimited automation; they get pooled allowances (Atlassian)
    • Extra Automation steps: $0.50 per 1,000 steps, or prepaid step packs (Atlassian)
    • If extra usage is off and the allowance runs out: New automation flows stop; events are not queued (Atlassian)
    • How to cap it: Atlassian Administration > Billing > pick a meter > disable extra usage, or set a usage limit (Atlassian)
    • Cloud orgs that go past their allowance: Pay for extra usage from December 3, 2026 unless an admin turns it off (Atlassian)

    You can stay on Atlassian Cloud if you make the change. This page is for people who would rather leave.
