What the top of the page tells you
Two summaries sit above the ledger. Used this month is the total drawn down so far in the month you are looking at. Move to a closed month and it names that month instead, because “so far” is only true of the current one. By workspace splits the same total between the workspaces that spent it, heaviest first. The bars compare workspaces with each other, not with the month’s total, so the question they answer is who used the most.Credit activity
The ledger underneath is every grant, top-up and use, newest first.
The foot of the list says which month you are reading and links to Earlier
months. A month page is a real address, so you can reload it or send it to
someone and they see the same month.
Limits
Beside the ledger heading you may see one or more limit chips — live retrieval calls today, voice characters this hour, image or video generations this month. They read the same figures the product itself enforces on, so what you see here cannot disagree with what stopped you. They are set by your account team, which is why there is no control next to them. A chip that has reached its limit says so and says that use is paused until the window resets.What draws on credits
Generation does: images, clips, videos and voice. Bigger jobs use more, because they are more work. Publishing what you approve does not. Sending an approved piece out is included, so the review-and-publish half of the product never costs you credits.Reading a month honestly
Two things are worth keeping straight when a month looks heavy:- A single long render can dominate a month. One video is not comparable to one image, and the ledger’s plain-language entries are there so you can see which is which without decoding anything.
- Credits added and credits used are in the same list. A month with a large positive entry near the top is a top-up or a plan grant, not spend.
