What changed
GitLab restructured its Flex FAQ: 'per-use' credits are now called 'on-demand' usage, the overage volume-discount FAQ entry was removed, multi-org allocation was narrowed to Self-Managed only, and new balance and usage-cap FAQ entries were added.
Why it matters
Customers evaluating or already on Flex should watch whether the removed overage-discount language reflects an actual pricing change rather than just cleanup, and whether the Self-Managed-only multi-org restriction becomes a permanent feature of Flex rather than a temporary rollout limit.
In context
This follows GitLab's two-part Flex rollout — the unified seat-and-credit billing launch in June and the Flex Commitment annual option that followed three weeks later — making it the fourth credits-related change to GitLab's pricing page since March. Usage-billing tweaks are common across the index, with HubSpot and Datadog touching them most often, but GitLab's changes here trim rather than expand: removing the overage-discount FAQ and narrowing multi-org allocation to Self-Managed both cut back on flexibility the June launch had introduced.
