Buying more

There are two ways past a limit. A credit pack tops up AI credits, which is what the Studio spends on videos and images. Everything else — articles and social posts — is set by the plan, so those you raise rather than top up.

Credit packs

Your usable balance is whatever is left of this month’s allowance plus whatever you have bought. The monthly allowance is always spent first, and purchased credits are only touched once it runs out — so a pack bought in a busy month is still sitting there in a quiet one.

QuQi asks before you get stuck

You are not left to discover the shortfall halfway through. Ask for a video you cannot afford and the Studio says up front how many credits it needs and how many you hold, then offers a pack or a shorter, standard-quality video. The image composer does the same: it shows what the batch will cost and how many credits are left, and links you to buy more when the batch costs more than you hold.

When to raise the plan instead

A pack does not add articles or social posts. If you are running out of those, the limit message points you at an upgrade — or at asking support, who can raise your limits permanently or add a one-off boost for the current month.

Rough rule: if it is the Studio you keep hitting, buy credits. If it is the calendar — more articles a month, more channels per post — raise the plan.

What buying credits does not do

Credits pay for rendering, not for permission. Publishing to your website, publishing to social channels and the backlink exchange gate all come with an active subscription, and no size of pack turns them on during a trial.
