Billing and usage

Credits are used to pay for runs in Fiveonefour-managed sandboxes and model requests routed through Fiveonefour's AI gateway. You obtain credits through your Fiveonefour subscription, and, optionally, by buying additional credits on-demand.

Plans and credits

Each subscription plan grants new credits at the start of its billing cycle. The amount of credits granted and the time to expiry of those credits varies by plan:

Your billing cycle starts when you sign up or change plans. A new cycle begins on that same date each month, not necessarily on the first day of the month. Credits are spent in expiry order: base plan credit, Pro credit, then on-demand credit. Changing plans does not remove credit already granted before its expiry.

There is no separate spend limit. When the balance reaches zero, AX Cloud can block new work and cancel in-flight runs. Buying credit replenishes the shared organization balance.

What consumes credits

Two independent charges can draw down your credit balance:

• Completing a run in a Fiveonefour-managed sandbox incurs an infrastructure charge.
• Agent tokens routed through Fiveonefour's AI gateway incur model-usage charges.

Where the run executes and where its model requests are routed determine which charges apply:

BYOK changes model billing, not sandbox billing. Model requests routed through an organization BYOK provider are billed by that provider and do not draw down the Fiveonefour balance. A hosted run still incurs its sandbox charge.

Check and buy credits

Org admins can view the shared balance under Billing or Billing → Credits in the web app. The balance separates plan credits from on-demand credits and shows the current billing-cycle window.

# Show the current organization balance
ax credit balance

# Buy $50 in on-demand credit
ax credit reload --amount 50

See ax credit balance for previous-cycle selection and balance fields. See ax credit reload for purchase limits and Checkout behavior.

Review usage

Use Usage in the web app or ax credit spend to review spend for a billing cycle. Org admins see organization-wide spend and can group or filter it by user or experiment. Members see only their own spend.

# Show your spend for the current billing cycle
ax credit spend

# Show organization spend by experiment
ax credit spend --group-by experiment

Managed spend combines sandbox charges and managed model usage. Usage routed through your BYOK provider is not included. Recently completed usage can remain under pricing reconciliation, so current-cycle totals may continue to rise after a run finishes.

See ax credit spend for periods, filters, grouping, and output fields.

Manage your plan and payments

Use Billing in the web app to view the current plan. Org admins can upgrade to Pro or open Stripe Customer Portal to manage the subscription, payment methods, and invoices.

Plan pricing and included credit are separate: the Pro subscription price does not determine the amount of credit granted each cycle.
