Credits
Credits are the unit of consumption for AI operations in CodeBuddy. Every interaction consumes credits based on task complexity and model used.
How Credits Work
| Factor | Impact on Consumption |
|---|---|
| Model tier | Premium models cost more per interaction |
| Task complexity | Simple Q&A < code generation < full-file refactoring |
| Context length | Longer conversations use more credits |
How are Credits deducted?
Personal Edition
The system prioritizes using your Trial credits first.
When those are exhausted, remaining credits are consumed in order of earliest expiration — including your Plan allocation (Pro / Teams), purchased Top-ups, and any other credit packages.
In practice: Bonus credits (awarded on first payment) persist until consumed and are treated the same as Plan credits.
Enterprise Edition
Team members draw from the shared Enterprise pool (1,000 credits per seat, shared). When the pool is exhausted, admins can purchase Enterprise Top-Ups.
