AI Chat: limits, models and credits

In Chat, you can ask AI questions and discuss its answers. Your plan includes limits; credits are used only when you choose them.

Open AI Studio

How do I start a conversation?

Open the Chat tab and create a new chat. Enter your request and press Send. The studio sets the default model, which you can change before sending. Text appears as it is generated, and you can copy a completed response. Conversations stay in chat history.

What do the two bars mean?

The 5 hours and Week bars show the percentage of your limit already used. A request must fit within both windows. The percentages are separate: each request counts toward both bars. Models that cost more to run use the limit faster.

Each window starts with the first request that uses the included limit. It resets after 5 hours or 7 days; the next such request starts a new window. Reset times use your local time zone. Changing your plan preserves usage in the current windows and applies the new plan's limits.

The bars include capacity reserved for responses still in progress. Unused capacity is released after completion, so a percentage may go down. If the outcome is still being checked, its reservation stays until it can be reconciled.

What if I reach my limit?

Wait until the displayed reset time or choose Continue with credits. The studio first shows an up to N credits price for this request. Credits are used only after you press Send. Any unused credit reservation is returned when the response is settled.

This choice applies to one request only. Editing the text or changing the model switches back to the included limit, as does the next request. Gift credits cannot be used for this continuation.

You may still have some capacity left but not enough for the selected response. The studio explains this and keeps your draft. It does not mean both bars are at 100%.

How does an extra limit work?

If you have an active Extra limit pack, it is used when a request does not fit within your plan's windows. Its remaining percentage and expiry are shown beside the bars. A window reset does not remove the pack's remaining capacity; the pack lasts until its own expiry.

Credits and extra limits are separate balances. Topping up credits does not change your plan's limit bars.
