 For single-file outputs, if `exclude` leaves only one transcript field and removes metadata, billing, and detected language, the API returns that remaining value directly instead of a JSON object. Text-only responses return a plain string, VTT-only responses return a plain string, and segments-only responses return an array. Multi-file outputs still return JSON so each result stays associated with its `reference_id`.
 
+If `autoReload` is enabled, the SDK always keeps billing in the request even if you included `billing` in `exclude`. It needs `remaining_balance` to decide whether to call `POST /v1/add-funds`.
+
+## Auto reload
+
+```js
+const client = new TranscribeAPI({
+  apiKey: process.env.TRANSCRIBE_API_KEY,
+  autoReload: {
+    amount: 10,
+    ifBalanceBelow: 20,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+When `autoReload` is enabled, the SDK:
+
+- checks `remaining_balance` after a transcription result
+- only calls `POST /v1/add-funds` when the balance is below `ifBalanceBelow`
+- sends `{ amount, if_balance_below }` to the API for backend-side protection too
+- ignores `billing` inside `exclude` so the SDK can always read `remaining_balance`
+
+Auto reload only runs when the transcription result returned to the SDK includes `remaining_balance`. If you disable polling for async jobs, immediate non-terminal async responses do not have enough billing data for the SDK to auto reload yet.
+
+### Manual addFunds for webhooks
+
+When using webhooks with batch jobs, the transcription result goes to your webhook URL instead of the SDK. The `autoReload` config won't fire because the SDK never sees the result. Call `client.addFunds()` inside your webhook handler instead:
+
+```js
+// Webhook handler (Express example)
+app.post("/webhook", async (req, res) => {
+  const { remaining_balance } = req.body;
+
+  if (remaining_balance < 20) {
+    const client = new TranscribeAPI({ apiKey: process.env.TRANSCRIBE_API_KEY });
+    await client.addFunds(10, { ifBalanceBelow: 20 });
+  }
+
+  res.sendStatus(200);
+});
+```
+
+`addFunds(amount, { ifBalanceBelow })` calls `POST /v1/add-funds`:
+
+- `amount` — whole dollar amount from 5 to 100.
+- `ifBalanceBelow` — server-side guard. The API only charges if your current balance is actually below this threshold, making it safe against duplicate webhook deliveries.
+
