Credits

AI features in post.buzz — caption generation, image generation, vision descriptions, content analysis, chat, transcription — run against a shared inference backend and are metered through the credits system.

How credits work​

  • Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation.
  • Every AI action consumes credits proportional to its cost (image generation costs more than a short caption, for example).
  • When your monthly allocation runs out, you can top up with a credit pack.
  • A per-day AI actions fair-use cap sits on top of credits to prevent abuse, regardless of how many credits you hold.

Credit packs​

Credit packs are one-time purchases (billed via Stripe) that add credits to your balance on top of your plan allocation. They're useful when you have a burst of AI work — a big content push, a batch of image generations — that exceeds your monthly allocation.

Purchased credits land in your balance immediately after the payment is confirmed by the Stripe webhook.

Usage tracking​

Your daily AI usage is tracked (ai_usage_daily) so you can see how close you are to the daily cap and where credits are going. Check your usage in billing settings before a big AI push to avoid surprises.
