# Credits & usage

> Understand credits, usage charts, model choice, and plan limits in Happycapy

Credits are the shared usage unit for work that runs in Happycapy. Model calls, media generation, long-running tasks, and Automations can all use credits.

Use this page to understand where your credits go and how to make better choices when a task can be done in more than one way.

<Note>
  Plan details can change. For current prices, plan limits, and billing terms, use the official [Happycapy pricing page](https://happycapy.ai/pricing).
</Note>

## Check usage

Open the profile menu in the lower-left corner, choose **Settings**, then open **Billing**. In the **Usage** section, you will see:

* **Credits consumed** — how many credits were used in the selected time range.
* **Requests made** — how many model or tool requests were made in the selected time range.

Use **7 Days**, **30 Days**, or **90 Days** to switch the reporting window.

## Read the charts

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Credits by Model" icon="coins">
    Shows daily credit usage for the models used in the selected time range. Use it to compare which models used more credits on each day.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Requests by Model" icon="chart-column">
    Shows request volume instead of cost. A lightweight model may appear often here while using fewer credits overall.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Look at both charts together. A model can have many requests but low credit usage, or fewer requests but higher credit usage.

## What uses more credits

Credit usage depends on what Happycapy is doing, not just how many messages you send.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Model choice" icon="sliders">
    Higher-capability reasoning models usually use more credits than faster, lighter models.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Task length" icon="route">
    Multi-step research, coding, file processing, and revision loops can use more credits as Happycapy works through the task.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media generation" icon="palette">
    Skills can trigger specialized image or video models. Those credits are tracked separately from base-model chat work.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Automations" icon="clock">
    Scheduled tasks can keep running even when you are away, so review usage regularly if you automate recurring work.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Choose models

The model selector is for the base model that drives your Happycapy session.

</CardGroup>

Specialized media models such as GPT Image 2, Gemini, and Seedream are task-level models, not base models in the regular selector. You can ask for them in the conversation or use a Skill that calls them; Happycapy will route the image or video task to the right model.

If you are unsure, start with the default base model. Switch to a stronger model when the task needs deeper reasoning, or switch to a lighter model for quick edits and repeated small steps.

## Plans

Happycapy has Free, Pro, Plus, Max, and Team plans. Annual billing on the pricing page includes two months free.
