Confluence automation usage
Atlassian Automation has moved from per app monthly flow limits to usage-based automation steps pooled at the organization level. This means your total usage is the sum of all automation steps across your Atlassian apps. See How usage-based pricing works.
On December 3, 2026, extra usage billing takes effect. In Atlassian Administration, you can track your organization's usage and plan ahead.
Confluence automation usage has moved from actions to automation steps, a metered feature of a flow, including triggers, conditions, actions, branches, and loops. Each time one of these components runs, it counts as one step. Step allowances are pooled at the organization level and are the sum of all automation steps across your apps. See How is my automation usage calculated.
For example, your organization has 100 automation steps across your app. You have a flow that says, "When a page is created (Trigger), if it's in the 'Marketing' space (Condition), then add a label (Action 1) and send an email (Action 2)”. A single successful execution of this flow will use four steps. These steps are deducted from the 100 steps available to the entire organization.
