Pricing

Buy credits
Use Billing > Credits to purchase credits. A 10% platform fee applies to credit purchases before discounts, not to individual sessions.
Credits do not expire. Eligible new organizations receive $100 in signup credit; personal accounts receive none.
Automatic recharge
Configure a balance threshold and recharge amount under Billing > Credits. A saved payment method alone does not enable automatic recharge.
Paid requests stop when the available balance or an applicable spend limit is exhausted.
Read usage
Billing > Usage separates model and compute usage. Each session also shows its own cost.
The usage API reports UTC calendar months. A rated value for subscription usage is an estimate of token value, not an Ellipsis credit charge.
