Usage examples
- 01
Code autocomplete request
A single autocomplete request sends 2,000 input tokens and receives 500 output tokens. Cost: (2,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (500 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0003 + $0.00025 = $0.00055. You need ~1,818 requests to burn $1.00.
- 02
Long context refactoring
Refactoring a large module with a 50,000 token prompt and 4,000 token response. Cost: (50,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.15) + (4,000 / 1,000,000 * $0.50) = $0.0075 + $0.002 = $0.0095. High volume usage remains predictable.
- 03
Batch analysis job
Processing 100 files with 10,000 input tokens each and 1,000 output tokens each. Input: 1,000,000 tokens ($0.15). Output: 100,000 tokens ($0.05). Total: $0.20. Errors during processing are free, so you only pay for success.

Frequently asked questions
How does the prepaid credit work?
You pay with crypto upfront. The API deducts tokens from your balance as requests succeed. Failed requests do not charge you. Your balance shows real-time usage. You top up whenever you need more capacity.
What payment methods are accepted?
Only USDT (TRC20) and USDC (Base). You must top up in whole dollar amounts between $20 and $500. Bonus credit applies automatically based on your top-up tier.
Does my credit expire?
