Credits are a prepaid balance with the same resource coverage as Token Plan. They are used through the Token Plan Key and can be used together with a Token Plan subscription or purchased on their own.

​
Pricing

For top-up amount, increment, and validity, see Credits Pricing. Usage paid with Credits is charged at the pay-as-you-go equivalent price. For example, a resource priced at $0.03 consumes 30 credits.

​
Token Plan Key

Credits are consumed with your Token Plan Key. They do not use a pay-as-you-go API Key. Each user has a dedicated Token Plan Key for each Team they belong to. The key can exist before the Team has purchased a Token Plan or Credits. In that state, the key has no usable paid resources. Once a Token Plan seat is assigned to the user, or Credits become available to the user, the same Token Plan Key can access those resources.

​
Deduction Order

When usage can be covered by both a Token Plan subscription and Credits, MiniMax deducts usage in this order:
  1. Use the available Token Plan quota first.
  2. If the quota is exhausted, or the resource is not covered by the subscription, Credits are automatically deducted.
This means Credits can automatically cover usage after Token Plan quota is exhausted. Credits can also cover usage within Token Plan resource coverage that is not included in the subscription quota. To use resources outside Token Plan coverage, switch to a pay-as-you-go API Key.

​
Expiration and Usage Records

  • Each top-up expires one year from its purchase date.
  • Expiration dates for multiple top-ups are calculated independently and do not extend each other.
  • Unused Credits expire after their validity period and cannot be rolled over.
  • Credits usage is shown separately from Token Plan subscription usage.
  • Single-request billing details appear on the Billing page on the next day.
