Advanced tasks are still being improved. During this rollout period, substantial credit discounts apply, and the discount multiplier will gradually change over time. The following describes how credits are calculated (if this policy changes, the latest in-product notice prevails).
What billing is based on
Charges are driven by token usage for the task. Tokens are converted into raw credits according to platform rules, then the rules below determine how many credits are billed.
Task status definitions
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|

Example table
The rows below use the April 22, 2026 to May 22, 2026 discount stage as an example. They assume 1 USD = 25 raw credits to illustrate raw credits and billed credits; fractional results are rounded down to whole credits.
| Cost (USD) | Credit | Status | Billed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | 7.5 | completed | 7 | Below the 10-credit threshold; billed in line with full weight (rounded) |
| 0.4 | 10 | completed | 10 | Exactly at the threshold; no discount on the first 10 |
| 0.4 | 10 | interrupted | 10 | Same as above |
| 0.5 | 12.5 | completed | 10 | Excess: 10 + 2.5×0.2 = 10.5 → 10 (round down) |
| 1.0 | 25 | completed | 13 | 10 + 15×0.2 = 13 |
| 1.0 | 25 | interrupted | 11 | 10 + 15×0.1 = 11.5 → 11 (round down) |
| Any | Any | failed | 0 | Not charged |
Takeaways
- Failed runs are free; all advanced tasks before April 22, 2026 are free. After that, rollout-stage discount multipliers apply to the excess portion above 10 raw credits, with a 100-credit cap per task.
