Known issues we've tracked

PRODUCT + PRICING (2026-05-04 / 2026-05-05): Notion **Custom Agents** exited beta with admin-grade governance controls: **per-agent spend caps**, **workspace-wide credit caps**, **auto-pause on limit** (agents stop before exceeding budget rather than soft-billing over), **creator permissions** (control who in a workspace can build agents), and a **credits dashboard** for monthly spend visibility. Same window: **credit billing went live at $10 per 1,000 credits** as a paid add-on to Business/Enterprise plans. Notion's own help docs estimate ~30-60 agent runs per 1,000 credits -- so roughly $0.17 to $0.33 per agent run depending on workload complexity. The free-Skills-framework window that ran through 2026-05-03 is now closed. Material for any team that built workflows on Custom Agents during the free trial -- those workflows now meter. Sets up the comparison to n8n's per-execution pricing + Microsoft Agent 365's $15/user/mo flat rate (5/1 GA).
