Understand Credit Expiration and Usage Order
Monthly plan credits and purchased top-up credits follow different rules.
Credit Usage Order
Lupine always uses credits in the following order:
- Monthly plan credits
- Top-up credits
Your recurring monthly allocation is consumed first. Top-up credits are only used after your monthly plan balance reaches zero.
Monthly Plan Credits
- Available with Growth and Scale subscriptions.
- Reset at the start of each billing cycle.
- Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
- Expire when replaced by the next monthly allocation.
Top-Up Credits
- Purchased separately from your subscription plan.
- Used only after monthly plan credits are exhausted.
- Never expire.
- Remain in your wallet even if you:
- Cancel your subscription
- Pause your subscription
- Downgrade your subscription
Example
Suppose you have:
- 100 monthly plan credits
- 300 top-up credits
When you run your next analysis:
- Lupine uses the 100 monthly plan credits first.
- Once the monthly balance reaches 0, Lupine begins using the 300 top-up credits.
- Any unused top-up credits remain available indefinitely.
