description: Understanding how credits power workflows, AI agents, and the AI chatbot — and how to manage your balance.

## Overview

Credits power workflow automations and AI capabilities. They are consumed when workflow actions execute, when AI agents process tasks inside workflows, and whithin the AI chat.

## Credit Allocation

Credits are based on your billing cycle, not your plan:

| Billing Cycle | Credits |
|---------------|---------|
| Monthly | 5/month |
| Yearly | 50/year |

<Note>
The 5 monthly credits are designed to empower you to run automations without worrying about costs. For most workflows using standard actions, this is more than enough. You'll only need additional credits when running advanced code nodes or AI-powered features.
</Note>

## Credit Rollover

Unused credits at the end of a billing period are automatically carried over to the next period.

- **Cap**: The rollover amount is capped at one period's full allocation, so you can never carry over more credits than your plan provides per period.
- **Visibility**: When rollover credits are available, they appear as a separate **Rollover Credits** line in **Settings → Billing**, alongside a **Total Available** balance.

## Credit Consumption

Different actions consume different amounts of credits:

| Action Type | Credit Usage |
|-------------|--------------|
| **Basic operations** (search, update, create records) | Minimal |
| **Complex operations** (code nodes, external API calls) | More credits |
| **AI prompt & AI chats** | Variable based on usage |

Credits are deducted in real-time when workflows execute.
