   A house that runs out of credits no longer publishes on tick — the sale is
   kept, whole, and held until the balance covers it. This panel sits ABOVE the
   billing panel because it means a listing the owner created is not on the
   site. Same palette and geometry as .ae-bill / .ae-cr-* ; nothing above is
   restyled. .is-warn is the softer "you're nearly out" variant.
