# Credits and What They Cover

Credits are the unit TestVibe uses to track plan usage. One balance covers both sides of the product: the AI tokens used while generating tests and the cloud test session time used while running them.

## What Consumes Credits

| Activity      | What is metered                                                                             |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| AI generation | AI tokens used by the selected agent while drafting features or generating Playwright code. |
| Test runs     | Cloud test session time while your tests execute and evidence is collected.                 |

Reviewing results, editing features, and browsing the workspace do not consume credits.

## Balance Order

When a workspace uses credits, TestVibe applies balances in this order:

1. Included plan credits. On paid plans this is a monthly allowance (use-it-or-lose-it; it resets each month and does not carry over). The Free plan instead gets a one-time credit grant that does not reset.
2. Purchased credit packs (persistent; never expire).

On the Free plan, work stops once the balance reaches zero. On Pro and Enterprise plans, usage past the balance is tracked as overage and billed at the end of the period.

## Credit Packs

Paid plans can buy one-time credit packs from the **Credit** card in **Settings > Billing**. A pack grants exactly the credits it lists (no bonus), and purchased credits do not reset with the billing period. Pack sizes and prices are shown in **Settings > Billing** before purchase; as of this writing they are 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 credits, largest first for the best per-credit price.

## Where To See Usage

The current credit balance and the purchased credit balance are shown in **Settings > Billing**; where credits go this cycle, by area, is shown in **Settings > Credit Usage**.

For usage locations in the app, see [Credit Usage](/account-settings/credit-usage.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.testvibe.com/pricing/billable-minutes-and-credit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
