What Consumes Credits
Every generation run consumes credits based on the pipeline tier selected at generation time. The credit cost is fixed per tier regardless of content length, template complexity, or number of expansion attempts within a single generation.| Action | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
| Quick generation | 1 credit |
| Standard generation | 4 credits |
| Premium generation | 5 credits |
| Section regeneration | Same as the pipeline tier used |
| API-submitted generation | Same as the pipeline tier used |

Tracking Your Usage
Your current credit balance and usage breakdown are visible on the Dashboard. The Dashboard shows credits remaining, credits consumed by pipeline type, the number of generations this billing cycle, and your credit reset date. For programmatic access, the API exposes usage data at two endpoints:GET /api/credits/usage— current balance and consumption breakdownGET /api/credits/history— transaction-level credit history with timestamps
Credit Reset Cycle
Subscription credits reset on your billing anniversary date, not on the calendar month boundary. If you subscribed on March 15, your credits reset on April 15. Unused subscription credits do not roll over to the next cycle. Add-on pack credits operate on a separate 90-day expiry window from the date of purchase. They are consumed only after your monthly subscription credits are fully depleted.Notifications
WriterzRoom sends notifications at two thresholds:- 90% usage — a warning that your monthly credits are nearly exhausted
- 100% usage — generation is blocked until credits reset or you purchase an add-on pack
