Automatic Energy renewal on TRON: a fixed amount every day
Auto-renewal keeps a set amount of Energy on an address and renews it every day, paid from your balance. It is for addresses with steady traffic through the day, such as service wallets and payout addresses, that need a fixed daily cost and nobody to watch them. At today’s price 131,000 Energy is 10.48 TRX a day. For a few transfers a month, one-time Energy (1.24 TRX per transfer) is cheaper.How it works
Your own TRON address and the amount of Energy to keep on it. No private key or seed phrase is involved.

Who needs it
Typical setups
Payouts through the day with a known volume
Affiliate or payroll payouts that go out all day. The cost is one number to plan: 10.48 TRX a day for 131,000 Energy, whatever the number of transfers.A service wallet nobody should have to watch
Size it for the most transfers you send close together: 65,000 Energy for each transfer to an address that already holds USDT, 131,000 for one that does not.Not this: a few transfers a month
The day is charged whether or not anything is sent. Order Energy right before each transfer instead.Limits, and how much to keep on the balance
A renewal keeps 65,000 to 1,000,000 Energy on the address, renewed every day. An address can have one auto-renewal rule.The balance has to cover the next delivery of every running rule together: one day, 10.48 TRX for 131,000 Energy, or the dashboard refuses to start it. To get through a weekend without a top-up we suggest keeping about a week in reserve: 73.36 TRX at this size. That is our advice, not a rule of the service. The low-balance alert below warns you before a rule pauses.

What it looks like in the dashboard
Setting up auto-renewal with GetGas
Sign up and top up your balance. It has to cover the next delivery of all your running rules together.
In the dashboard open Buy Energy, “New automation”, and choose Auto-renewal.
Enter the address and how much Energy to keep on it. The form suggests 131,000.
Start it. Pause or remove the rule under Automations whenever you want.
How to check that it works
From code, and an alert before a rule pauses
A service can create, pause and remove these rules from code with an API key, and read every delivery in the same account. To hear about a low balance before a rule pauses, set a threshold under API & Keys → Webhook → Low balance alert in the dashboard. When a charge takes the balance below it, a signed balance.low event is sent to your webhook, and again every hour until you top up. It is a webhook, not an e-mail, so it needs a URL on your side.
FAQ
Questions about auto-renewal
Auto-renewal or auto-refill for a busy wallet?
Renewal is a fixed price per day for the amount you keep: 10.48 TRX for 131,000. Refill delivers every hour while the address is below its threshold and charges each delivery: up to 50.3 TRX a day for the same amount. Refill reacts to use, renewal does not.
Is unused Energy lost?
Yes. The Energy is leased for a day and goes back at the end of it whether or not you used it. You pay for the daily lease, not for the transfers.
Can I stop it, and is anything returned?
You can pause or remove the rule at any time in the dashboard under Automations. A day already delivered is charged and not refunded; nothing further is charged once the rule is stopped.
What if my balance runs out?
The balance has to cover the next delivery of all your running rules together. When it no longer does, the newest rules pause by themselves and resume after you top up.
How much Energy should I keep?
A transfer to an address that already holds USDT takes about 65,000, to one that does not about 131,000. Multiply by the transfers you send in a day and see the guide on how much Energy a transfer needs.
Do I still need TRX on the address?
For the Energy, no. A transfer also uses about 345 Bandwidth, and every address gets 600 free per day; past that a little TRX is burned. The guide on sending USDT with no TRX in the wallet covers it.
Does this work for a withdrawal from an exchange?
No. Energy has to be on the address that signs the transfer, and on an exchange that address is the exchange’s. It works for addresses you control.
