Billing & Credits

Instructionly uses a credit-based billing system. Credits are consumed when AI instructions are retrieved via MCP.

How Credits Work

1. Credit Reserve — When you make a request, credits are temporarily reserved from your balance
2. Processing — Your request is processed and instructions are delivered
3. Finalization — The final credit amount is calculated and deducted
4. Tracking — All transactions are recorded for transparency

Credit Consumption

Credits are consumed based on:

• Number of instructions delivered
• Complexity of skill matching
• Session activity
