What it does

A safety ceiling on the Shodan scan credits spent per month, by per-address on-demand scans and by the batch fresh scan.

When set

A scan that would take the month past the cap is refused (the batch fresh scan counts one credit per address), and so is any scan while the month's count cannot be read. Normal host lookups are not limited.

When blank or default

Left blank, the default applies: 4000 credits per month.

Risk and how to reverse it

Changes what is collected from the next run: narrowing it means some assets or data are not collected, so they look absent in profiles, CIs and reports (absence is never read as fixed). Reversible: change it back; the next run collects again.
