Usage is paid for in credits. 1 credit = USD 0.01 (100 credits = USD 1).

Expiry and balance display#

Pay-as-you-go credits don't expire (committed contract credits may carry an expiry date — see Top up & wallet). Balances are shown to four decimal places; a non-zero amount below that shows as <0.0001.

How credits flow down the hierarchy#

Credits flow down the hierarchy — organization → workspace → project — and a key spends from its project's balance. Each level reports the same four figures:

Term	Meaning
Available	Credits you can spend or allocate at this level.
Received	Total credits received from the parent level.
Allocated	Credits pushed down to child workspaces or projects.
Consumed	Credits actually spent on API calls (project level).

If a project spends more than it was allocated it is flagged In debt until topped up.
