Credits are how Architect meters the AI work behind your apps. Everything that calls a model — building and refining an app, and the agents inside your deployed apps as real users run them — draws from your credit balance. The Usage dashboard is where you keep an eye on all of it in one place.

​
What Consumes Credits

  • Building & refining — each time Architect plans, generates, or edits an app, the underlying model calls consume credits.
  • Running your apps — every time an agent in a live app responds to a user, that inference consumes credits too.
Because consumption scales with how much your agents actually think, heavier or higher-traffic apps naturally use more credits than light ones.

​
Track Your Credit Usage

To see exactly where your credits are going, open the Usage tab from the homepage sidebar.

The Usage Breakdown view gives you the full picture at a glance:
  • Total credits used across your account.
  • Total number of apps you’ve built.
  • A per-app breakdown showing how many credits each app has consumed and when it was last used — so you can quickly spot which apps are driving most of your usage.
Use the search box to find a specific app, and the per-app rows to identify anything consuming more than you’d expect.
