Understanding the Credit System: Key Insights and Suggestions

Hey Andrei Byfield — just wanted to jump in and say thanks for raising this. I wasn’t aware of how the credit system actually works either, and your explanation helped clarify a lot. I’m on an agency plan, so I don’t usually worry too much about running out of credits — but this definitely changes how I plan to manage the account. In a high-usage period, the rolling 30-day model could easily create a bottleneck if I’m not careful. Carlos’s response wasn’t wrong, but it lacked the key nuance that’s causing all the confusion. A more accurate statement from Carlos might've been something like: "You have a monthly credit limit (e.g. 7,500 credits/month), but usage is tracked on a rolling 30-day basis. That means each credit you use becomes available again 30 days after it was used — not on a fixed calendar date. Unused credits don't roll over into the next month." That would have cleared up a lot. Totally agree that having this laid out more clearly in the docs would help everyone plan better. Appreciate you pushing for that transparency 👏
