About credits
Learn where each type of credit comes from, how long it lasts, and which is used first.
Two types of credits
Your account has monthly credits and purchased credits. Usage shows monthly credits as remaining / total and your purchased credit balance; the top right shows the combined available credits. See the pricing page for current credit amounts and prices.
| Rule | Monthly credits | Purchased credits |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Granted each period by your plan: Free 100, Plus 500, Pro 2,400, Max 18,000 | Bought separately by paid members: 1 USD = 100 credits |
| Validity | The current period only; unused credits do not roll over | 3 months from successful payment |
| Order of use | Used first | Used after monthly credits run out |
| Plan changes | An upgrade ends the previous period’s monthly credits and grants the new plan’s full allowance | Kept, and still usable on Free until they expire |
The Pro member below has 1,862.40 / 2,400 monthly credits left this period and 812.50 purchased credits, of which 312.50 expire first.
Monthly credits
Free grants 100 credits a month, renewed on your account’s fixed monthly cycle. Paid plans grant their full allowance at the start of each paid period.
Monthly credits are valid only for the current period. Unused credits expire when it ends and do not carry over. Free and paid monthly credits do not stack. Running out of monthly credits does not end your plan; its benefits last until the period ends.
Purchased credits
Plus, Pro, and Max members can open Settings → Subscription & payments → Buy extra credits. Each purchase is a whole amount from 5 to 999 USD, at 100 credits per USD. Free accounts need a paid plan first.
Purchased credits are valid for 3 months from successful payment, independent of your plan period. Upgrading, canceling renewal, or returning to Free does not affect them; unused credits expire at the end of their validity.
Enter an amount or pick a preset to see the credits you will receive and how long they last.
Credit purchase history in Subscription & payments lists each purchase with its amount, remaining credits, and validity.
Order of use
Each charge uses monthly credits first, then purchased credits. When you have several purchases, the one that expires first is used first.
When all credits are used up, new chats and file parsing pause. Continue after your next period renews, after upgrading, or after buying extra credits.
