How credits work

Exactly what each action costs, and when credits are used at all. No surprises.

The one rule

Every account gets a free allowance each month. Credits are a top-up — they are only used after that free allowance is finished.

So if your balance isn't going down, it's because you still have free usage left. Credits never expire, so nothing is wasted while they wait.
