Credits
Top up the prepaid credit wallet, check your balance, pay a plan with credits, and browse your credit transactions.
The credit wallet is prepaid balance that pays for every usage-based product — inference, GPUs, fine-tuning, databases, and agents. Top up from the console and the credits land in your balance right away.
How the wallet works
The wallet is a single running balance, denominated in dollars. Every usage-based action you take — an inference request, a GPU-hour of instance time, a fine-tuning job, a database-month, an agent-minute — deducts its cost from that balance the moment it’s metered. There’s no separate wallet per product: one balance covers all of them.
The credit lifecycle
Credits flow in a loop: top up the wallet → usage-based products deduct per use → low-balance alerts as the balance runs down → top up again to keep usage-based products running.
Top up and check your balance
- 1Open the credits pageFrom Account → Billing, open the AI Credits tab to see your current balance.
- 2Start a top-upClick Add credits, enter a dollar amount, and confirm. This opens a Stripe checkout page for that amount.
- 3Complete checkoutFinish payment on the Stripe page. When it succeeds, you're returned to the console and the credits are already reflected in your balance.
Pay a plan with credits
If your wallet has enough balance, the plan checkout screen offers Pay with credits as an alternative to a card — choosing it settles the plan cost straight from your wallet instead of charging Stripe.
Browse credit transactions
The AI Credits tab also lists your credit ledger — every top-up and every deduction, in order, so you can see exactly what drew down your balance and when.
| Ledger entry | What it means |
|---|---|
| Top-up | A Stripe checkout you completed, or the one-time signup bonus, adding to the balance. |
| Deduction | A usage-based charge — an inference call, a GPU-hour, a database-month, an agent-minute — drawn from the balance the moment it's metered. |
| Refund | Balance returned to the wallet, for example from a refunded deployment bill. |
Low-balance warnings
As the balance runs down, NevTan surfaces a low-balance warning on the Billing screen before it reaches zero, so there's time to top up or turn on auto-pay before anything is interrupted. The warning tracks the same number shown on the AI Credits tab — there's no separate threshold to configure.
What happens at zero
Without auto-pay, a zero balance blocks new usage-based actions in the console — starting an inference call, launching a GPU instance, kicking off a fine-tuning job — until you top up again. With auto-pay on and a card on file, NevTan charges the saved card automatically the moment more balance is needed, so usage carries on without you having to notice the warning at all.
