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

Daily Credits are credits that are automatically added to your account every day at 21:00 UTC (9:00 PM UTC). The amount you receive depends on your subscription tier:
TierDaily Credits
Free0.25 credits
Starter2 credits
Plus5 credits
Core10 credits
Pro15 credits
Business30 credits
Enterprise69+ credits (scales with custom payment)
  • Daily credits reset at 21:00 UTC every day
  • Unused daily credits do not carry over to the next day
  • Your balance is automatically set to your daily credits amount at reset time
  • Daily 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 daily credits
See Pay-as-You-Go for details.
Flex Credits (also called “Flex Wallet”) are a savings feature that lets you save unused daily credits for later use.
How it works:
  • You can save up to 20% of your daily credits per day to your flex wallet
  • The total cap is 100% of your daily credits (e.g., if you get 15 credits/day, your flex wallet can hold up to 15 credits)
  • You can only save once every 24 hours
  • Flex credits are used automatically when your regular balance runs out (if flex credits are enabled)

Example

  • You have a Pro subscription (15 credits/day)
  • Daily save limit: 3 credits (20% of 15)
  • Maximum flex wallet: 15 credits (100% of daily credits)
  • If you save 3 credits every day for 5 days, you’ll have 15 credits saved (the maximum)
  • Enable flex credits if you want to build up a buffer for heavy usage days
  • Useful if you don’t use all your daily credits every day
  • Helps prevent losing unused credits at daily reset
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 (if available)
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 (daily 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

Daily Reset

  • Daily credits: Reset every day at 21:00 UTC
  • Neutrinos: Reset every day at 21:00 UTC

Never Reset

  • Permanent credits: Never reset (they’re permanent!)
  • Flex credits: Never reset (but you can only save once per 24 hours)
Monthly spending limits: Reset on the 1st of each month (for permanent credits monthly limits)
