Credit packs and running low
Top up any time with a credit pack, understand which credits are used and which carry over, and keep working when your balance gets low.
Your plan includes a monthly allowance of credits. If you use them faster than expected, you can top up with a credit pack, or wait for the next reset. Either way, your work is safe.
Credit packs
| Pack | Credits | Price | Per credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 500 | $5 | about 1.0 cents |
| Medium | 2,000 | $18 | about 0.9 cents |
| Large | 10,000 | $80 | about 0.8 cents |
Larger packs cost less per credit.
Which credits carry over
| Resets? | Carries over? | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly plan credits | Yes, each billing period | No |
| Credit packs | No | Yes |
Monthly credits are for steady use. Packs are for bursts: a big project, a deadline, a week of heavy concept exploration.
When you run low
The credit meter shows your balance as you work, and credit checks run before expensive operations, so a request is not cut off halfway. If you do reach zero:
- The agent and other credit-using actions pause. The agent tells you plainly that you are out of credits.
- Everything else keeps working. You can still open, view, orbit and measure your Things, and edit by hand with the manual tools, sliders and the Recipe.
- Your work is untouched.
You have a few choices:
- Buy a pack and carry on immediately.
- Wait for the monthly reset if it is close.
- Move to a bigger plan if you routinely run out.
- Switch to Fast mode and be specific in your prompts, so each credit goes further.
