Billing and credits
Add credits and understand expiration dates
Check top-up eligibility, review a credit purchase, and distinguish plan credits from top-up credits.
Updated
- Open the credit or subscription controls and choose Add credits where available.
- Check eligibility: buying top-up credits requires an active paid subscription with time remaining in its current period.
- Choose an available amount or offer and review the currency, total, and credits shown.
- Complete checkout, then confirm that the paid purchase appears in your account and the balance updates.
Different credits can expire at different times
- Plan credits belong to their allocated monthly credit period and expire at its end.
- Annual subscriptions provide a year of access with monthly plan-credit refreshes, not the whole year's credits as one immediately usable grant.
- Top-up credits expire twelve calendar months after the confirmed purchase.
- Other grants can have their own expiration terms. Check the purchase or grant entry in Settings > Usage when an expiry is shown.
Without an active paid subscription, you cannot buy a top-up. Valid remaining credits may still be usable on available tools under Free-tier limits, but they do not create a new monthly refill entitlement.
