What are Credits
Credits are the metering unit used when Qoder CN products call AI models. They measure the compute resources consumed by a task. For example, the following operations in Qoder CN IDE consume Credits:
Editor
Inline Chat
Ask mode
Agent mode
Quest
Agent mode
Experts mode
Knowledge Engine
RepoWiki
Knowledge cards
Actual consumption is determined by task complexity and the model in use.
Deduction rule
The system consumes Credits that expire soonest first, so you get the most out of your resources.
Failed requests
Credits are not deducted when a model call fails. Charges apply only to successful calls.
