A visible estimate comes first.
Processing uses a server-owned allowance. For an imported text source, the preview uses one minute per 1,000 Unicode characters, rounded up. For media, usage follows the supported processing duration. Review the displayed estimate and available balance before confirming.
Reserved does not mean charged twice.
A reservation holds capacity for the requested job. Ordinary retries and duplicate confirmations keep the same operation identity. Failed or revoked work releases unused reserved capacity according to its actual processing state. A temporary feature pause can keep the existing reservation while work waits.
Monthly allowance and purchased credits differ.
The proposed Pro plan grants its service allowance monthly, including on annual billing. Purchased credits use a separate balance. Current reference prices and limits are on Pricing; commercial checkout and optional top-ups require release and seller configuration before purchase is available.
