• Credits consumed = Tokens used × Model multiplier
• Complete usage history available in your account settings

Model Pricing Structure Different AI models have different costs based on their capabilities:

What Affects Credit Usage

Factors That Increase Usage:

• Longer AI responses - More detailed answers use more tokens
• Extended conversation history - Longer chats require more context
• Special features - Memory systems and advanced processing
