AI Credits & Usage

What are AI credits?​

AI credits represent your daily allowance for AI-powered operations inside ReelBot.

They are used whenever ReelBot performs computational AI work on your behalf — such as generating text, audio, or animations.

AI credits exist to:

  • ensure fair usage
  • maintain system reliability
  • scale performance across plans

They are not the same as video generation limits.

What consumes AI credits​

AI credits are consumed by the following actions:

  • AI topic generation
  • AI script generation
  • AI voiceover generation
  • Image-to-video animation
  • Other AI-powered generation steps

Credits are consumed only when an AI action is triggered.

What does NOT consume AI credits​

AI credits are not consumed when you:

  • navigate between steps
  • edit text manually
  • preview videos
  • review drafts
  • change video settings
  • download videos
  • publish content

Only explicit AI generation actions consume credits.

Daily reset behavior​

AI credits reset daily.

This means:

  • unused credits do not roll over
  • limits refresh automatically
  • usage starts fresh each day

Daily resets allow predictable planning without long-term accumulation.

Plan-based limits​

AI credit limits depend on your subscription plan.

Typical behavior:

  • Free and Starter plans have daily credit caps
  • Pro and Enterprise plans have higher or unlimited access

Exact limits are visible in:

  • the Dashboard
  • the Video Studio sidebar
  • the Subscription & Usage page

Real-time usage tracking​

AI credit usage is tracked in real time.

You can see:

  • credits used
  • credits remaining
  • visual indicators during consumption

When an AI action is triggered:

  • usage updates immediately
  • a small animation indicates credit consumption

This keeps usage transparent and predictable.

What happens when credits run out​

If you reach your daily AI credit limit:

  • AI generation actions are temporarily disabled
  • you can continue reviewing, editing, and managing projects
  • credits reset automatically at the next daily cycle

No content is lost when limits are reached.

AI credits vs video generations​

AI credits and video generations are separate limits.

  • AI credits control generation steps
  • video generations control final video creation

You may:

  • have AI credits available but no video generations left
  • have video generations available but limited AI credits

Both limits are visible at all times.

Credits and regeneration​

Regenerating content:

  • consumes AI credits only for regenerated steps
  • does not re-consume credits for unchanged steps

This allows safe iteration without unnecessary cost.

Credits and failures​

If an AI operation fails:

  • credits may or may not be consumed depending on failure point
  • no video generation quota is consumed
  • drafts remain intact

ReelBot prioritizes reliability and recovery.

Best practices for using AI credits​

To use credits efficiently:

  • batch AI-heavy actions
  • avoid regenerating impulsively
  • finalize settings before generation
  • regenerate only what’s necessary

Credits reward intentional workflows.

The CreatorOps perspective​

In CreatorOps, constraints create clarity.

AI credits:

  • encourage deliberate iteration
  • prevent wasteful regeneration
  • keep systems reliable at scale

They exist to support sustainable creation — not restrict it.

AI credits are a resource — use them intentionally.
