Credits and Usage
Deslicer uses a credit system for AI consumption. Each plan includes monthly credits with automatic budget caps. You track usage in the dashboard and receive alerts when approaching limits.

Monthly Allowances
| Plan | Monthly Credits |
|---|---|
| Free | €5 |
| Standard | €10 |
| Enterprise | Included (usage-based billing) |
Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Unused credits do not roll over.
Budget Caps
Each plan enforces automatic budget caps that prevent runaway AI spending:
- Trial users — A €10 spending cap applies during the 7-day trial period, regardless of plan tier. This protects you from unexpected charges while evaluating the platform.
- Standard — Monthly budget aligned with your plan's credit allowance. You receive alerts as you approach the limit.
- Enterprise — Higher or unlimited budget depending on your agreement. Usage-based billing applies.
When your budget is exhausted, agent chat and scheduled tasks pause until the next billing cycle or until you top up credits. You can still view history, manage settings, and configure agents.
How Credits Are Consumed
Credits are consumed when you:
- Chat with agents — Each message and response consumes credits based on model and token usage.
- Run workflows — Workflow runs consume credits for the AI steps and any model calls.
- Run scheduled tasks — Automated agent runs consume credits just like manual chat sessions. Each run's cost is tracked individually.
- Use Agent Builder — Creating and testing custom agents consumes credits.
Different models have different credit costs. GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and Grok consume at different rates. The dashboard shows usage per model and per agent.
Tracking Usage
Go to Settings → Billing → Usage to see:
- Credits used this month
- Credits remaining
- Budget cap status and alerts
- Breakdown by agent, workflow, and model
- Historical usage trends
Use this to plan upgrades or adjust usage patterns.
When Credits Run Out
- Free: Agent and workflow usage pauses until the next cycle. You can still view history and manage settings.
- Standard: Add-on credits or upgrade to Enterprise for usage-based billing. Contact support for options.
- Enterprise: Usage-based billing applies; no hard cap. You receive billing alerts at configured thresholds.
Plan ahead to avoid interruption. The budget banner on the Scheduled Tasks page and chat interface warns you when your budget is running low.
