How do usage limits and credits work?

Every Repaint plan includes a weekly AI usage allowance. Working with the AI spends some of it, and the full allowance comes back every 7 days. If you run out before the reset, you can wait, upgrade your plan, or buy extra credits.

The weekly allowance

Your allowance is shared by everyone in your workspace. Its size depends on your plan:

• Plus: the standard weekly allowance
• Pro: 4× the weekly usage of Plus
• Max: 8× the weekly usage of Plus

The allowance resets every 7 days, all at once. Unused usage doesn't roll over to the next week.

Tracking your usage

You can check your usage anytime in the usage section of your workspace settings. It shows:

• Weekly usage, a meter with the percentage you've used and when your allowance resets.
• Credit balance, the extra credits you've bought, which are used after your weekly allowance runs out. You can buy more from the same page.
• Recent transactions, your recent credit purchases and usage.

You'll also see a warning in the chat when you're running low and when you've run out.

What counts as usage

Anything the AI does for you counts as usage, including:

• Building and editing websites, like creating pages, importing a site, and making changes.
• Building features, like a store, booking system, member area, or custom web app.
• Managing data, like asking about orders, updating customers, issuing refunds, or creating exports.
• Building and changing dashboards.
• Generating and editing images.
• Asking questions, even when the AI doesn't change anything.

Your live sites don't use your allowance. Visitors, payments, emails, and anything else your sites do on their own never touch your AI usage.

What uses the most

Some work uses a lot more than others. The biggest uses are importing lots of content from another site, generating new websites or pages, and creating lots of images. Asking questions and making small updates barely use any.

Hitting your limit

Once your weekly allowance and any credits are used up, you can't chat with the AI until your allowance resets. To keep going sooner, you can upgrade to a plan with a bigger allowance or buy extra credits.

Hitting your usage limit doesn't take anything offline. Your websites stay online, and everything on them keeps running as normal.

That's different from a paused workspace. A workspace pauses if your trial ends, you cancel, or your payment ultimately fails. When that happens, your websites go offline.

Extra credits

Credits let you keep working with the AI after your weekly allowance runs out, instead of waiting for the reset. You can buy them on any paid plan from the usage section of your workspace settings.

• Credits are only used after your weekly allowance runs out, so your included usage always goes first.
• Credits never expire. Anything left over stays on your account.
• Credits are one-time purchases. There's no auto-refill and no recurring charge, so you only pay when you choose to buy more.

Credits work well for an occasional busy week. If you find yourself buying them regularly, upgrading your plan is usually better value.
