My credit balance changed unexpectedly — why?

Credits draw down automatically against usage, and usage is metered hourly — so a running deployment or steady API traffic reduces your balance continuously, not just when an invoice is issued.

To see exactly where it went: open your billing dashboard and check the usage breakdown across Dedicated Inference, Model APIs, and Training. A dedicated deployment that's scaled above zero replicas accrues per-minute charges even with no traffic — that's the most common surprise.

If the numbers still don't add up, contact us with your workspace name and we'll walk through it with you.
