Ai Credits Question

I see that there is a limit to the number of AI searches per month. Is there any way to know how many AI credits I have so that I can be using the service wisely? I have just been trying the service to see how it functions and may have wasted valuable credits.

    We don't have those figures yet. Each subscription level has a number of credits. And the program will only warn you that you've used too much when you've reached 80% of the credits, if I'm not mistaken (correct me).

    I believe you are correct. I have reached 80% of my credits and when I contacted support to get some idea of how that could occur, to give me some idea of what processes used more credits than others they advised were unable to access any data about that.  It would be more effective in the future if we could see usage in real time, or at least by the day or something like that.

    I also believe that if there were a counter (even hidden in a menu) it would be more transparent and we could manage our usage better, especially now with the use of AI for search and other functions that also consume credits. We never know how far we can go.
    I, for one, have consumed a lot of credit testing new features. So far I haven't run out. The only time I used up translation credits was in 2023 when I tried reading an entire 120-page book through the translator. It wasn't until the end of the month (with 3 days left to renew the credits) that I ran out. I also used it for other smaller translations during the month.

    So, for my current use, there seems to be plenty of translation credit. But it would be nice to be able to count how much we consume in translation and AI. It would be great if what we didn't spend in one month could remain as a “balance” for another month when we use a lot more.

    You are right, knowing is better then you can manage your use better.

    I would love to have a way to monitor credits and credit usage.

    This would be excellent. I remember some phone plans being like that before all the unlimited plans came out. If it's already paid for in the subscription price, carrying the balance forward makes sense.
