Credit Consumption Rules
Pre-deduction and Settlement Mechanism
- Credits are pre-deducted when submitting a task — The system estimates the cost based on content length and model used
- Final settlement after task completion — May deduct additional credits if needed, or refund excess credits
- Full refund if task fails or is canceled
Factors Affecting Consumption
Credit consumption is influenced by:
- Content Length: Longer input consumes more credits
- Model Selection: Advanced models consume more than fast models
- Task Type: Complex types like audio and podcasts have higher consumption multipliers
