Credits & Minutes
How credits are counted
- 1 credit = 1 second of generated audio
- Displayed as minutes in the UI (60 credits = 1 minute)
- Credits are deducted after a successful generation
- Failed or cancelled generations are not charged
Monthly credits vs. top-up credits
| Type | Expires? | Used first? |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly allowance | Yes — resets on billing date | Yes |
| Top-up pack | Never | After monthly runs out |
This means if you buy a top-up pack, your monthly credits are always used first, preserving your purchased credits.
Checking your balance
Your current credit balance is shown in the header (e.g. +8965 pts) and in Profile.
