ChatGPT API vs Monthly Credits?

I’m confused on the usage. I built a couple of tools yesterday and I’ve somehow used 208 of my 250 monthly credits.

Can someone explain where the credits go? If I use my own ChatGTP API would I have unlimited credits?

Hey Aidan, I think we resolved this over email as well but I’ll write the same answer here.

If you look at your credit balance on your account page and it says 208/250 credits that means you have 209 credits remaining out of the 250 credits you get monthly.

For example the below screenshot indicates I have used 80 credits and still have 920 remaining.

Fantastic. I guess I’m not nearly as bright as I’d like to think!

Cheers

You are not the first customer to be confused by this. I think we are overdue to append text to the effect of “credits remaining out” after the number.
