Allowances and usage
Your fair-use allowance (shown as credits in the app) renews in monthly usage windows — for paid plans on the day of the month your subscription started, regardless of the billing interval you chose. A quarterly subscription therefore spans three consecutive allowance windows, not a single one for the whole quarter. Unused allowances expire at the end of each window and do not carry over.
What happens if I stop a response?
You can stop a running response at any time. For your allowance this means:
- If you stop before the response has visibly started, nothing is counted.
- If you stop after text has already been produced, the output generated up to that point counts against your allowance. If no final usage record of the model call is available, we estimate the consumption from the streamed content.
This applies to all accounts equally, including free usage. It keeps the fair-use model fair: a cancelled but already generated response causes the same cost as one you read to the end.
