Credits in plain language

Credits are used for text, image, and voice generation. Bigger models, longer outputs, and search-enabled workflows typically consume more.

Plan-aware limits that affect credit usage

Included monthly allowance comes from your active tier. You can still top up credits separately.

Usage strategy

  • Keep web search off for stable topics.
  • Use smaller context for routine support replies.
  • Reserve larger token limits for long-form answers.
  • Use deterministic settings for troubleshooting to reduce retries.

Expiring promotional credits

Some temporary campaigns grant credits with their own expiry. While active, those promotional credits are spent before an equivalent amount of regular balance and are tracked separately so a failed request can refund the correct bucket. Unused promotional credit is removed at the campaign expiry shown in the dashboard. The current Discord token-rotation campaign, when offered, grants 0.17 temporary credits and two days of effective Plus access for a verified token reset on the same Discord application. It can be claimed once and is not an ongoing monthly allowance.

Common billing questions

Typical causes are higher context, longer max tokens, web search, or a more expensive model selection.
Model access is tier-based. If tier or mapping changed, unavailable models are removed or remapped.
Active premium subscriptions can block Patreon disconnect until status is consistent.
