Credits are running out faster than expected

Start with the usage history in Settings > Credits to see which task spent the most. Here are common reasons for heavy spending and what to do about them.

• A high tier is involved at every step: adjust the workflow so light steps like drafting and research go to interns.
• A heavy workflow handling light work: using a discussion-heavy workflow for a short caption is wasteful. Switch to a lighter one.
• A repeating automation is running: turn off any automations you're not using in Tasks > Automation.

If the thinking part is what's large, connecting BYOK solves it at the root. A connected brain doesn't spend credits for that part at all.
