AI quota exhausted

Your weekly AI credits ran out — the chat panel shows a credit-exhausted banner. Here's what each option does.

What the banner shows

When credits run out, the banner appears at the top of the chat panel with:

• The headline "Weekly AI credits exhausted"
• The next reset date (when this week's credits come back)
• A "Buy Credits" button
• A "Dismiss" button to close the banner

Your options

1 · Buy more credits

Click "Buy Credits" on the banner → opens Account → Credits (/account/credits), where you can top up your AI credit balance.

2 · Upgrade your plan

A higher plan comes with a larger weekly credit allowance. Open Account → Subscription (/account/subscription) to change plans.

Upgrades take immediate effect and the new plan's allowance applies right away.

See: Subscribe / upgrade steps

3 · Wait for the next reset

AI credits reset every week. The banner's next reset date tells you when this week's allowance comes back:

• Click "Dismiss" to close the banner
• Try the AI action again after the reset

Account → Usage → "Usage stats" tab → trend chart and per-action breakdown.

Common reasons for burning through credits:

• AI Beta Reader / Editor runs are pricey (each report consumes a chunk)
• Web search adds some overhead (fetching pages costs credits)
• Deeper-thinking models cost more than faster tiers

A better habit: watch your balance

There's no per-message estimate in the chat box, so check your remaining weekly credits on the AI Usage card under Account → Credits (/account/credits) before starting a heavy run. When you queue a background task, its confirmation card also shows an approximate credit cost so you can decide before it runs.
