Concepts
Credits
Understand cost calculation, pre-checks, and billing ownership
Every processing job consumes credits from your account balance. Credits are checked before a job starts, and requests are rejected when the balance is insufficient.
Billing ownership
By default, credits are deducted from your personal balance. If you belong to a group with shared billing, credits are deducted from the group owner's balance.
Insufficient credits response
If you do not have enough credits, the API returns 402 Payment Required with details about credits needed for the request.
Checking your balance
Use the billing endpoint to read your current available credits.
