Credits System
Watchtower uses a credit system for AI-powered features. This allows you to pay only for what you use and ensures that you have full control over your spending. Every subscription plan comes with a monthly allocation of credits.
How Credits Are Consumed
Credits are consumed when you make a request to one of our AI-powered API endpoints.
| Feature | Endpoint | Credit Cost |
| :-------------- | :------------------------ | :---------- |
| AI Summary | GET /api/ai/summarize | 5 credits |
| AI Digest | POST /api/ai/digest | 10 credits |
AI Summary
When you request an AI summary of your recent events, it costs 5 credits. This feature is designed for quick, on-demand insights into your event stream.
AI Digest
An AI digest provides a more in-depth analysis and is typically used for scheduled reports (e.g., daily or weekly summaries). Each digest costs 10 credits.
Monitoring Your Usage
You can monitor your credit consumption at any time from your Billing page in the Watchtower dashboard. You'll see your remaining credits, your monthly total, and your billing cycle reset date.
Upgrading Your Plan
If you find that you need more credits, you can upgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, and your new credit allocation will be available right away.
Unused Credits
Unused credits do not roll over to the next month. Your credit balance resets to your plan's monthly allocation at the start of each billing cycle.
