That you don't have any credits left to request new tunnels/subnets etc. Simple.

You should use that message instead of your current cryptic warning that left me puzzled as well. "spare credits"? "not allowed"? eh...

From my dictionary:
spare I bn.
[...]
b) overtollig, reserve...;
[...]
~ cash (money): geld over
Spare credits zouden dus credits zijn die je nog over hebt. Wat je eigenlijk wil zeggen is: loaning credits is not allowed.

I also started to think what spare ment, I can reacal: Spare Tire -- Reserve Wiel.
but yes, it is better to say loaning then (I think)

And you all have it wrong, reread The Credits FAQ and you will notice that it mentions a lower bound of 15 credits. These are spare credits as they cannot be used for requesting new subnets/tunnels/etc but can be used when one is foolish enough to not let their endpoint ping or other of such events.
To complete your analogy: a spare tire is a tire to be used emergencies, the lower bound credits are spare credits used for emergencies.
And a loan is when you get extra positive credit by begging. Next to that a loan is something one pays back and I never have seen that happen ;)

I would like to suggest that you stop being a smartass. That "spare credits" message appeared like a warning on the Tunnel Information page - as if I had attempted something that involves spending those credits, which I didn't. Giving a simple note like "you don't have enough credits left to request a subnet or a tunnel" would raise far fewer questions and you wouldn't have to devote a whole new FAQ section to explaining what that message means.
