Your embed widgets were never broken — the warning was
If you opened Widgets since the move to credits, you were told your public embed widgets were not ready to go live, and that your widget credits were used up. Neither was true. The widgets were working the whole time, quietly taking leads.
The meters on that page were still reading the two separate widget balances that existed before credits. Those balances were zeroed when everything moved onto one wallet, and nothing has written to them since — so the page read a real number from a column that had stopped meaning anything, and the readiness banner drew the obvious conclusion.
The page now shows the two figures that actually decide whether a widget can run:
- Credit balance — the wallet everything else spends too.
- Public widget cap — a per-period ceiling on what anonymous visitors may draw from that wallet, so widget traffic can never empty the account your own work depends on.
They are separate on purpose, because the fix is different: one asks you to top up, the other asks you to wait for the period to roll over. A single number could not tell you which.
Nothing was miscounted and nothing was lost — no credits were spent by the bug, and no balance needs correcting. Only the reading was wrong.
