Docs - Plans and billing
Credits exhausted, hosted credits, and own keys
Know what happens when hosted room runs low and when Team keys help.
When hosted credits run out, you may need to wait for reset, buy a pack, narrow the next request, or upgrade. Team accounts can use advanced provider keys when direct provider billing is the right operating model.
How to use this
- 1Read the Studio message when credits are low or exhausted.
- 2Choose a smaller next request if you still have some room.
- 3Use a pack or upgrade if the project needs more hosted work now.
- 4Use Team provider keys only when your organization wants direct provider billing.
Keep in mind
- Own provider keys are not available on Free or Pro.
- Direct provider billing shifts AI usage cost to your provider account.
- A low-credit warning is a good time to reduce scope.
