Usage & Credits
Usage & Credits shows your credit balance and every charge and refund. Every generation is charged in credits before it runs, and refunded automatically if it fails.
Check your usage
- Open Usage & Credits in the sidebar, or click your credit balance at the top right.
- At the top you see:
- Balance: credits you have now.
- Used in the last 30 days: credits spent, less refunds.
- Plan: your workspace plan, with Change to go to Billing.
- Credits used per day charts the last 30 days. Hover over a day to see its date and credits.
- Spent by feature breaks the last 30 days down by feature, with each one's credits and share, for example "Music · 12,400 · 38%".
- On the right is the activity list, newest first, which scrolls on its own. Narrow it with All, Usage, Refunds or Credits added. Each line shows:
- the type: Free credits, Monthly free credits, Plan credits, Credit purchase, Usage, Refund or Adjustment, and the feature when there is one
- a note, for example "Speech, 1,234 characters" or the name of what was made
- when it happened
- the amount: + for credits added, − for credits used
The list holds your latest 1,000 lines. Every charge also shows in History.
How charging works
- Before a job runs, its credits are taken. If you don't have enough, the job doesn't start, and you see "This needs N credits". Pages show Not enough credits next to the button first.
- If a job fails, its credits are refunded automatically. It shows as a Refund entry.
- Some jobs reserve an estimate, then settle when they finish:
- A transcript is charged for the file's length; if the heard speech runs longer, the difference is charged.
- A Standard song, an automatic-length sound effect or a talking avatar is charged for what was made. Any unused part of the reserve is refunded.
- Images held back by the safety filter, and sound effect takes that couldn't be made, aren't charged.
- Jobs that run too long are stopped after 3 hours and refunded.
Free credits
A workspace on the free plan gets 10,000 credits every month, topped back up each month rather than added on top. No card is needed. Free credits are for personal, non-commercial use, and show as Free credits or Monthly free credits in the list.
