Usage, credits & billing

One published credit unit across Chat, CLI and API, with included and purchased balances kept identifiable.

One credit unit

100 credits represent $1 of inference at the published customer retail schedule. Fractional usage is preserved; credits are neither withdrawable money nor a fixed message count. Chat, CLI and API share this unit. Included and purchased balances remain separately identifiable.

Monthly included allowance

The monthly catalog defines Sinner with 3,000 included credits, Heretic with 9,000 and Unholy with 24,000 per billing month. There are no five-hour or rolling-seven-day gates for these plan versions. Your active plan and published checkout terms determine the actual entitlement; historical purchases retain their recorded terms. For new subscriptions, included credits expire at the end of each monthly grant period and do not accumulate. Annual subscriptions still grant credits monthly, with each grant expiring at its own monthly period end. Existing grants and already-paid annual contracts keep their recorded policy where Billing identifies different terms. Check the source’s availability and expiry reported by the server. Immediate cancellation stops future grants; eligible, unrevoked credits already issued under the new monthly-expiry policy remain usable until their recorded expiry, at a basic limit of 1 concurrent request without active paid coverage.

Purchased credits

Credit packages add 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 or 10,000 credits for $10, $25, $50 or $100. Eligible included credits are used first, then already-purchased credits. Purchased credits never expire and can be used without a subscription, with a basic limit of 1 concurrent request. This does not buy credit automatically: automatic recharge is off. Review the applicable refund terms and account controls before purchase.

Reservations and exact rates

The server reserves a bounded worst-case cost before dispatch, then settles measured input/cache/output at the applicable immutable rate version. Unused reservations release; unknown usage remains pending.

Payment lifecycle

Hosted checkout return URLs never grant entitlement. Verified payment events and idempotent ledger transitions do. Billing can show invoices, pending recovery, cancellation and explicit renewal resumption; use the portal or account controls for an actual subscription.
