Credits and plans

How OpenHive meters agent work, and what happens when you run out.

Agent work consumes credits. The plan badge in the app shows what’s left and what you’ve used.

Two kinds of credit

Daily credits

Refresh every day and expire at 00:00 UTC. Spent first, so an unused day is a day wasted rather than banked.

Standing credits

Never expire. Drawn on only after the day’s allowance is gone.

Because daily credits are always spent first, standing credits act as a buffer for heavy days rather than a balance you burn through steadily.

Subscription states

State	Meaning
Active	Everything works normally.
Past due	A payment failed. Update your billing details to avoid interruption.
Canceled	The subscription won’t renew.
No subscription	You’re not on a plan — running on whatever credits you hold.

Reducing credit use

Adding your own model provider key in Credentials means you pay that provider directly instead of drawing on your bundled allotment. For high-volume work — bulk enrichment, large prospect lists — this is usually the cheapest way to scale.
