Notion's New Agents Run on Autopilot Until You Run Out of Credits

100-word summary
Notion just launched Custom Agents that work around the clock without prompting, automating status updates, triage, and Q&A across Slack, Linear, Figma, and other connected tools. The catch: they run on a consumption-based credit model with no rollover, so a helpful bot could quietly burn through your monthly budget by Tuesday. Admins get full logging and kill switches, but teams need to track spending per agent or risk surprise bills. It's free through May 3, then you're buying credits in monthly blocks. The new worry isn't whether AI can handle your busywork—it's whether you budgeted enough tokens for it.
