Credits

A unit of value that represents pre-purchased usage capacity in a platform.

Credits are the fundamental unit of the credit economy. Users purchase credits upfront and consume them as they use AI services.

How Credits Work

  1. Purchase — User buys a credit package
  2. HOLD — Credits are reserved when a job starts
  3. SETTLE — Credits are deducted when the job completes
  4. RELEASE — Unused held credits are returned if a job fails or is cancelled
