Credit Usage Graph: A sparkline visualizing your credit usage or refill history. A spike usually means a purchase or sudden increase in usage
Buy One-Time Credits: You can purchase additional credits if you run low:
500k credits → $5.00
1M credits → $9.00
After selecting the number of credits (500k / 1M) and clicking the "Continue" button, you purchase credits for the artificial intelligence chatbot:
it allows you to:
Chat with the BigBeluga AI assistant
Use longer conversations without limits
BigBeluga uses a token-based AI system, where credits are consumed based on how much data is sent to or from the chatbot (not just message count).
One "credit" = roughly 1 token.
Tokens are used per message, but also include:
Context/history from previous messages
Your question
The AI’s full response
More message history = more tokens used per request.
500,000 tokens (~$5) ≈ 250 AI messages
1,000,000 tokens (~$9) ≈ 500 AI messages
(Assuming one message + reply consumes ~2,000 tokens on average)
Your credit balance shows how much AI interaction time you still have.
When you're chatting with the AI, every message costs credits based on size + context.
You can top up anytime with one-time purchases.
500k tokens should last an average user quite a while if they keep chats concise.
