This article walks you through the credits side of the Build with AI page: how much you have, where it went this cycle, and how to buy more.
Open it before a big session of writing or image work, and any time the low balance row shows in Needs your attention.
Before you start
Only the business owner can buy credits. Staff with access to AI see the balance and the history, but not the buy buttons.
Step 1. Open the Usage tab
In the side menu, under Credits & Add-ons, pick Build with AI. The page opens on the Create tab: press Usage. Four cards show where you stand: Available Credits, Plan Grant for what your plan gives you each cycle, Cycle Start and Cycle Ends.
On an unlimited plan the first two show an infinity sign, with the words Unlimited plan under your balance.
Available Credits, Plan Grant, Cycle Start and Cycle Ends: where you stand in one row.
Step 2. Read this cycle's usage
Below the cards, the Usage This Cycle card shows Total Calls, Credits Used and Avg Credits/Call, then Pictures kept vs made and the Credits returned to you.
Under them, By Operation lists each AI action you used, with how many calls you made and the credits it took.
Usage This Cycle: total calls, credits used, average per call, then a line per AI feature.
Step 3. Look at the chart
The Credits by Operation chart shows the same numbers as bars, so you can see at a glance which feature uses most of your balance.
If you have not used AI yet this cycle, it says No usage data for this period.
The same story as bars, so the feature eating your balance is obvious at a glance.
Step 4. Pick a pack
Press Buy More in the page header, or open the Top up credits tab. Both take you to the same place.
Under Credit Packages, each card shows how many credits it holds and its price. The best seller wears a Popular ribbon, and a pack with extra credits shows its bonus. Press Buy Now on the pack you want.
Each pack shows how many credits it holds and its price, and the best seller wears a Popular ribbon.
Step 5. Confirm and pay
The Confirm purchase dialog names the pack and its credits. Under Payment method, your saved cards come first, and the one marked Default is already picked: One-click, instant charge, with no extra page. Press Pay with the amount to finish.
To pay another way, pick Other card / Apple Pay / Google Pay and press Continue to checkout. You go to the secure payment page and then come back here.
When it worked, you see Credits Added with your new balance, then a green Purchase Successful! banner. If you see Purchase Failed, nothing was charged: try again or pick another card.
The confirm dialog names the pack, then offers a saved card or the secure payment page.
Step 6. Check the history
The Transactions tab lists every credit movement. The list at the top narrows it to Usage, Purchase, Plan Grant, Admin Grant, Refund, Held or Expired.
The Details column is written in words, so each row tells you if it was a cycle grant, a purchase, or credits given back because an AI action failed.
Every credit movement, with a filter for usage, purchases, plan grants, admin grants and refunds.
Result
You know your balance, you know which AI feature uses it, and topping up takes a few clicks. The pack you bought also shows on the Invoices tab of Subscriptions & Billing, with an invoice you can download.
