Usage and limits

View your balance and usage in the dashboard. Your API keys share the same account balance and request limits.

How usage is charged

Your credit pays for the AI work needed to complete your tasks. More complex tasks can use more credit; there is no fixed price per task. Work already performed is charged even if a task fails or is stopped.

Insufficient balance

If a request is rejected because you do not have enough credit, it returns HTTP 402 with balance_required. Buy more credit in the dashboard before retrying.

Charges for work already performed can leave your balance below zero. There are no automatic charges to your payment method.

Concurrent requests

Free accounts can process up to 2 requests at the same time, shared across all API keys. Buy credit to switch to pay-as-you-go and get higher concurrency limits.

If you reach your concurrency limit, additional requests return HTTP 429. Wait for an active request to finish before retrying.
