Daily vs monthly — billing impact
| Daily allocation | Monthly allocation | |
|---|---|---|
| Credit availability | Divided evenly across remaining days in cycle | Full balance available immediately |
| Risk of running out early | Low — usage is spread out | Higher — no daily cap |
| Best for | Consistent, scheduled scraping | Large one-time jobs |
| Impact on billing | Credits refresh daily, predictable usage | May need a billing cycle reset if credits run out early |
Switching modes mid-cycle
You can switch between daily and monthly allocation at any time from Settings > Usage settings. The change takes effect immediately:- Daily → Monthly: Your remaining credits for the cycle become available all at once.
- Monthly → Daily: Your remaining credits are divided across the days left in your cycle.
Switching modes does not add or remove credits — it only changes how your existing balance is distributed.
Running out of credits
If you exhaust your credits before the billing cycle renews:- On daily mode: Wait for tomorrow’s daily refresh, or switch to monthly to access any remaining balance.
- On monthly mode: Wait for your next billing cycle, or reset your billing cycle early to get a fresh credit allocation (this charges your plan amount immediately).
