About priority usage

What is Priority usage?

Priority usage is the Unlimited you can use every cycle while maintaining a consistent experience. Explore, experiment, and iterate freely without spending credits, and while your priority usage lasts, the experience stays the same. It resets every billing cycle. For reliable generations any time, use credits.

What happens when my Priority usage runs out?

You can keep using Unlimited without interruption. From that point, generations take longer and speed varies with demand and volume. We'll notify you as things shift. Credits give you consistent speed any time.

When does Priority usage reset?

Priority usage resets every billing cycle. You can check your exact reset date by hovering over the Unlimited icon.

Is Priority usage the same across all plans?

Same concept, different capacity. Pro comes with more priority usage than Premium+ and Business.

I'm on Pro. Does that mean I get more Priority usage?

Yes. Pro comes with more priority usage, so you can use Unlimited longer while maintaining a consistent experience.

How can I make the most of my Priority usage?

Use Unlimited for exploration and experimentation, and switch to credits when consistency matters. That way, your priority usage lasts longer and you keep a consistent experience throughout your cycle.

Priority usage and credits

What's the difference between Priority usage and credits?

Priority usage is the Unlimited you can use every cycle while maintaining a consistent experience. Credits are the consistent option for professional work, running at consistent speed on every model, including models not available on Unlimited.

Once priority usage runs out, Unlimited keeps generating at a speed that varies with demand and volume.

Can I get full speed at any time?

Yes. Credits give you faster processing and consistent performance at any point.

Can I use credits once Priority usage runs out?

Yes, your credits are available anytime when generating. You can also add more capacity anytime with credit add-ons.

About the progress bar

What is this bar in my Unlimited?

The bar is the visual representation of your priority usage. It shows how much Unlimited you have left this period before the experience starts to vary.

Why was it introduced?

The priority usage bar is built around how most users work with Unlimited day to day. The Fair Use Policy exists to keep Unlimited mode sustainable for everyone, even when consumption from a small minority goes far beyond what the plan is built around.

For new users

I'm a new user: why is Unlimited off by default?

Unlimited lets you explore and experiment across 30+ models without spending credits. We set it off by default so you start with credits, which give you consistent speed on every model. You can turn on Unlimited anytime.

Other questions

My generations stopped. Am I blocked?

No. The priority usage bar does not stop generation, not on Unlimited and not on credits. If your generations are not completing, it's likely an account issue. Contact our support team and we'll look into it right away.
