What uses credits?
AI requests, your bot, texts, calls, emails, video meetings, your texting number, hosting and payout fees use credits. Here is each line of your history.
Credits are used by the AI (changes to your app, Chat, the bot, the app assistant, Company memory), by messages and calls (texts, emails, calls, video meetings), by your texting number, by hosting your app and by payout fees. Each line of your Credit history has one of the names below.
Also called: credit usage, charges, what costs credits, consommation de crédits, frais, utilisation
