# Credits & Plans

> Decky meters deck generation with credits. Every generated slide costs 10 credits; read operations are always free.

Every generated slide costs **10 credits**. Read operations — checking status, downloading, listing — are always free.

## How credits work

<Steps>
  <Step title="Credits are reserved upfront">
    When you call `create_deck` with 10 slides, 100 credits (10 × 10) are immediately reserved from your balance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Only finished slides are charged">
    When the job completes, Decky charges only for the slides it actually produced. Make 9 instead of 10? You're charged 90 and 10 are refunded.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Canceled or failed jobs are fully refunded">
    All reserved credits come back immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Credits reset monthly">
    Your full allocation is restored at the start of each billing period.
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Note>

## Check your balance

Ask Claude:

> "How many credits do I have left?"

Or call [`check_usage`](/tools/check-usage) directly. It returns your plan, total allocation, used amount, remaining balance, and period end date.

## Running low on credits

If you don't have enough credits for a job, `create_deck` returns:

```text theme={null}
Insufficient credits: this job needs 100 (10 per slide) but only 40 remain
in the current period on the 'free' plan.
```
