Keys now use permission presets instead of the ADMIN and API scopes. When you create a key, select one of seven presets: API , SERVERLESS , DEPLOY , COMPUTE , BILLING , READONLY , or FULL . If no preset matches your case, select the exact permissions the key needs. You can also limit a key to specific models and set it to expire.

Every fal releaseBilling Headers for WebSocket Endpoints
Shared WebSocket endpoints can now declare billing on their 101 upgrade response. Set x-fal-billable-units when the unit count is known at connect time. Set x-fal-billable-units-webhook to 1 when the count is only known at the end of the session. Then report the total with POST /requests/billable-units/{request_id} .
Switch Between App Endpoints in the Dashboard Playground
Deployed Serverless apps now include Testing > Playground in the app dashboard. Select an available endpoint, fill in its generated input form, and run a request without leaving the app. Multi-endpoint apps have one place to test their endpoints, using the existing Playground authentication and billing behavior.

GPU Utilization in Runner Telemetry
Runner telemetry now includes a dedicated GPU Utilization chart alongside the existing CPU, memory, and VRAM charts, so you can see how much compute your GPUs are actually doing -- not just how much memory they hold.
Deploy Messages and Annotations
You can now attach a freeform message and custom annotations to each revision when deploying: Messages and annotations are set at deploy time and stay with the revision. View and search them on the app's Versions page in the dashboard, or fetch them via the revisions API .
App-Level Retry Configuration
Apps can now register a default per-condition retry budget at deploy time with the new retry_config deployment option, using the same format as the X-Fal-Retry-Config request header. Set it as a class attribute on fal.App or under the app's table in pyproject.toml .
New Serverless Usage Page
The new Serverless Usage page (Serverless → Usage) provides attributable, dimensioned reporting of serverless compute spend in the dashboard. Compute reported in machine-seconds , broken down per app, environment, and machine type. Spend is split by price category: Reserve, Burst, On-Demand, and List.
Redesigned Usage & Billing Page
The Usage & Billing page has been rebuilt to support usage attribution (the Settings "Overview" tab is now "Usage"). Filter by auth method, API key, and login username to attribute consumption to a specific credential or user. Normalized app names and revised charts improve readability and export.
