Credits are the currency used in Electron Hub to pay for AI model usage. This guide explains all the different types of credits and how they work.

​
Types of Credits

Weekly Credits are credits that are automatically added to your account every Sunday at 21:00 UTC (9:00 PM UTC). The amount you receive depends on your subscription tier:
TierWeekly Credits
Free$0.25
Starter$8
Plus$15
Core$30
Pro$50
Business$100
Enterprise$200+ (scales with custom payment)
  • Weekly credits refill every Sunday at 21:00 UTC
  • Unused weekly credits do not carry over to the next week
  • Your balance is automatically set to your weekly credits amount at refill time
  • Weekly credits are separate from permanent credits
Permanent Credits are credits you purchase with real money.

Key Features

  • Never expire
  • Volume discounts available
  • Can be used alongside weekly credits
See Pay-as-You-Go for details.
Flex Credits (also called “Flex Wallet”) are a savings feature that lets you save unused weekly credits for later use.
How it works:
  • You can save up to 20% of your weekly credits per week to your flex wallet
  • The total cap is 50% of your weekly credits (e.g., if you get $50/week, your flex wallet can hold up to $25)
  • You can save at any time (no cooldown) — but the weekly save limit resets every Sunday at 21:00 UTC
  • Flex credits are used automatically when your regular balance runs out (if flex credits are enabled)
  • Flex balance rolls over until you use it

Example

  • You have a Pro subscription ($50/week)
  • Weekly save limit: $10 (20% of $50)
  • Maximum flex wallet: $25 (50% of $50)
  • If you save $10 every week for 2.5 weeks, you’ll have $25 saved (the maximum)
  • Enable flex credits if you want to build up a buffer for heavy usage weeks
  • Useful if you don’t use all your weekly credits every week
  • Flex balance rolls over — save up over a few weeks and use it when you need extra credits
Neutrinos are special free usage requests for free models (models that end with :free suffix).
Key Points:
  • All users get 10 Neutrinos per day (resets at 21:00 UTC)
  • Neutrinos are used instead of credits for free models
  • You can earn more Neutrinos by watching ads (up to 200 daily)

Ad Rewards (up to 3 ads per day)

  • Base: 10 Neutrinos
  • 1st ad: +30 Neutrinos (total: 40)
  • 2nd ad: +60 Neutrinos (total: 100)
  • 3rd ad: +100 Neutrinos (total: 200)
Important: Neutrinos are charged for all requests (failed, cancelled, and successful) - unlike regular credits which are only charged for successful/cancelled requests.

​
How Credits are Deducted

Deduction Priority

Credits are deducted in this priority order:
  1. Permanent credits (if enabled and within monthly limit)
  2. Regular balance (weekly credits)
  3. Flex credits (if enabled)
Charging Rules:Regular Credits: Only charged for successful and cancelled requests. Failed requests are NOT charged.Neutrinos: Charged for all requests (failed, cancelled, and successful) - this is different from regular credits.

Example: Successful Request

  • You have 5 permanent credits, 10 regular credits, and 3 flex credits
  • You make a request costing 15 credits
  • System uses: 5 permanent + 10 regular + 3 flex = 18 credits total (you have enough!)

Example: Failed Request

  • You make a request that fails (e.g., model unavailable, timeout)
  • Regular credits: NOT charged (you keep your credits)
  • Neutrinos: Still charged (if using a :free model)

​
Credit Reset Times

Weekly Refill

  • Weekly credits: Refill every Sunday at 21:00 UTC
  • Neutrinos: Reset every day at 21:00 UTC
  • Flex weekly save limit: Resets every Sunday at 21:00 UTC

Never Reset

  • Permanent credits: Never reset (they’re permanent!)
  • Flex credits balance: Rolls over until used
Monthly spending limits: Reset on the 1st of each month (for permanent credits monthly limits)
