Used 82% AI credits after one Sermon Prep
Today on the 8th of the month I received the message that I used 82% of my AI credits. But I only used the (standard) Passage study Layout for one Biblepassage for my sermon prep.
I did not do anything else like other times I used the Passage study Layout in Logos. so: opening a couple of commentaries and read them, open 5 bibles. Use the exegetical guide, opened TWOT a couple of times, used Logos Sense Lexicon for some words. Did some search to Logos Sense words, searched some other things in the factbook.
This has taken several hours (8-12 probably), although the Passage Study Layout has maybe been open for more hours (I left it on during dinner, without using it).
I'm using the Dutch version.
(In my mobile app I'm reading a novel at night. Sometimes I use the function of Google Tranlate in the app to translate a English word to Dutch.)
For me this is a normal sermon prep like I always do. I'm not a pastor who has to make more sermons a month, so if after one sermon I already have used 82% percent of the AI credits, does a normal pastor have enough AI credits for all his sermons?
What happens when my AI credits are gone? can I still Use Logos?
Can tech guys from Logos maybe see what is using all my AI credits? I'm really not a high volume user...
Do more people have had this message (also as early as 8 days in the month)?

I unsubscribed from the Logos mailing lists (I think I was getting too many emails) and it seems I am out of date on this new AI feature. I don't have it. Is it only for insiders? How do I test it?
It might be handy to offer a credits counter on the main toolbar. Maybe put a circle around our profile pictures that starts off blue and inches down as we use more credits, going solid grayed out when the credits are used up.
Clicking on our profile picture would add a "Credits" option to the account menu with the percent of credits either used or remaining per month.

There has been some discussion on a counter with Mark Barnes in another thread and it seemed like this was something Logos was now considering. I like the idea of putting it as a circle around our profile picture.

It will be a circle around the notifications icon (or where the notifications would be). I doubt it will make v38, but I hope it will make v39.

That will be great, thanks.

My humble opinion. I despise the whole idea of AI credits. Counting how many times you search or use AI runs against the core intention of bible study. It looks like a way to squeeze your pocket even more. It is disgraceful.
Actually, since Logos doesn't offer us to pay for more AI credits (and most users never max out the credit limit anyway), I don't see any squeezing our pockets.
That we can see the counter is by very popular user demand, making sure they don't run it empty by accident and thus miss the credits they plan to utilize (e.g. for the translation feature).
Have joy in the Lord! 
I haven't used the translation feature extensively, yet, but maybe another option to offer would be the ability to allow a user to provide an API key for their own personal subscription to DeepL that could be leveraged if they really want to go to town with translation services?
AI credits are shared with translation credits. Have you been using the translation tool a lot?
Yes, but you won't be able to use any features that require credits. There's more information here: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/23563051328269-AI-Credits
Also, the number of credits resets on your billing date, which might not be the first of the month.

Hi Mark Barnes, s related question regarding the AI credits...what happens if we do not use all of our credits for this month, do they roll ever into the next month or do they start all over again when they are refreshed?
They don't roll over.
The credit limit is very generous. We think most users will never get anywhere near it. I don't think any of our beta testers did.

Thank you Mark.
Hi Mark,
May I echo the requests for a way to monitor our use of AI/translation credits. I use Logos extensively, and the Summarization Sidebar is a great time saver. But, without knowing how my monthly usage is going, I will self-limit my use of it to avoid running out, potentially missing out unnecessarily on the time saving I could get from the feature.
Maybe you could make the notification icon permanent, or give us a program setting to do so?
Thanks, Steve
I too would vote for a tracker to know how much I would be using.
Is there a way to check how close I am to the usage limit on AI tools for the month before the warning? And am I correct that when it says "each month" it means subscription month (ie. renews 5th of each month) or does it mean calendar month (ie. Oct 1-31)? Thanks.
Hallo Mark Barnes, thanks for your reply.
Do you mean the translation tool in the android app or another translation feature in Logos Software on my laptop (that I'm nog aware of)
In the case of the android app: no, I have not used it a lot. when reading a novel and a study book, i sometimes have to use it. but maybe 10 times in the last week or so.
And if this is the problem, how do i shut it down? because this could be a potential threat to my use of Logos, because this was only 8 days in, and only working on one sermon thru the Passage study guide and reading (and highliting) in my android app on two devices.

Wait, what is this now?
Hallo Mark Barnes, how do I get such a tracker? because I'm very curious how I became such a high volume user overnight
