AI cost & quota

قراءة 4 دقيقة

AI in Slima isn't unlimited — each operation consumes credits. This article tells you how much was used, how much is left, and what to do when you're at zero. No exact numbers — pricing / formulas live at /plans, which evolves.

Slima Writing Studio editor as a visual reference: left file tree / centre editor with format toolbar / right Notes panel

See your balance

Three places:

  1. Top of the chat panel — before sending: "~X credits / you have Y left"
  2. Account → Credits — full balance + history
  3. Editor status bar — a small number (remaining)

Account → Credits two tabs

Earned

  • This month's subscription allocation
  • Referral bonuses
  • Campaign credits

Spent

  • Chat messages (how much each cost)
  • AI rewrites / analyses
  • AI Beta Reader reports
  • Timestamps per operation

There's a chart: today / this week / this month usage.

Estimates before you spend

Before an action that costs credits, Slima usually:

  1. Estimates the cost
  2. Shows "Estimated X credits / you have Y left"
  3. Waits for your confirm

E.g.:

  • "Rewrite this chapter" → AiGateModal: "~250 credits (you have 1,200)"
  • Large ops (chapter analysis, chapter rewrite) almost always prompt to confirm
  • Small ops (single-sentence rewrite, quick action) just run

Out of credits: AiLimitReached / AiGateModal

Two surfaces:

AiGateModal (before)

"This operation estimates X credits; you have Y"

Three options:

  • Upgrade — go to /plans
  • Cancel

AiLimitReached (during)

Rare — operation exceeded estimate mid-flight:

  • What's been produced stays
  • AiGateModal opens for the three options above

Why we don't list numbers here

This article deliberately doesn't say "X credits per chat" or "Pro gives Y per month" because:

  • Models / pricing adjust
  • Tokens per chat vary wildly with context
  • Hard-coded numbers in docs mislead within months

Numbers live at slima.ai/plans — always current. Inside Slima, Account → Credits shows your live state.

Credit-saving habits

  1. Use quick actions for small edits (Quick actions on selection) — cheaper than a full chat
  2. Web search off when not needed (Web search) — extra cost when on
  3. Split long chats — 50+ message chats compress but still rack tokens; new topic → new chat
  4. One decisive big edit instead of four nudges — don't quick-action the same passage 4 times; ask for "rewrite, give me 3 versions" once
