# Top up CUs and boost limits
The current **CU balance** **for Shared Node** users is displayed on the **Dashboard**. This shows how many Compute Units (CUs) are left before running out.
With the "**Top Up**" feature, users can add more **Compute Units** to their account or upgrade to higher monthly limits.
***
### Add Compute Units: Paid plan users
**Starter, Growth, Advanced, Scale, Pro, Premium & Enterprise** users can refill their CU balance or switch to another plan for increased limits:
1. Click the "**Top Up**" button on the **Dashboard**.
2. Select the **number of CUs** you’d like to add or choose the recommended plan (if prompted) based on your usage needs.
3. **Confirm** and finalize your purchase.
Your account balance will be updated immediately upon successful payment.
***
### **Increase CU limits: Free plan users**
Free plan users **cannot top up their Compute Units directly**. Instead, you have the option to upgrade to one of our monthly paid plans, providing significantly higher limits and extra features.
***
### Boost CU, RPS, and Access Token limits
If you're on the **Enterprise** plan (our customizable Shared Node plan), you can additionally request **higher RPS** and **Access Token limits**. Here’s how:
1. Click "**Change**" on the Dashboard next to the **Rate Limit** section.
2. Fill out and submit a **request form**, choosing your desired RPS limit, CU amount, and number of Access Tokens.
3. Our team will review your request and reach out to you with next steps shortly.

This feature is perfect for users who need higher transaction throughput without changing their plan. For more demanding needs, consider [Dedicated Nodes](https://getblock.io/dedicated-nodes/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.getblock.io/getting-started/plans-and-limits/top-up-cus-and-boost-limits.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
