Plan and credits

Studio can answer through two paths, chosen in AI Providers:

  • Your own account with a provider (for example, ChatGPT or Claude): usage comes out of the subscription you already pay the provider for.
  • Your company’s SquadOS account: replies with company models use the organization’s credits.

Cloud schedules are part of the company’s SquadOS subscription and use its credits; schedules on this computer stay available without it. SquadOS web search, when your company allows it, asks for your confirmation before using credits. Each image is billed to the account of the provider whose model was used: images from SquadOS models use credits, and those from the ChatGPT subscription come out of your subscription. In AI Providers → Images, each SquadOS model shows how many credits it uses per image, or Uses no credits when the organization pays with its own OpenRouter account.

See your balance

Section titled “See your balance”

In the conversation’s side panel, under Details:

  • Your plan shows the plan name, the Credit balance, the Monthly credits, and the Renewal date. With a provider account, you see Connected account quotas: the usage windows it reports (such as 5 hours and weekly) and when they renew.
  • Usage shows how much the conversation read and wrote, the Credits spent, and the context in use.
  • API equivalent cost compares usage with the standard public API rate, in US dollars. It is only a reference, not a charge.

When credits run out

Section titled “When credits run out”

If the company runs out of credits, Studio tells you in the conversation. Wait for renewal or ask the organization owner for a larger plan, under Subscription in SquadOS Web, and try again. See Plan and Credits.
