Billing source
Plan or credits: choose what DCode draws its usage from.
DCode can draw its usage from two places, and you choose which: your subscription plan (a raven subscription or the DCode Coding Plan) or prepaid API credits. The choice lives in DCode's settings under billing source.
#Plan mode (default)
With a plan active, DCode usage draws against that plan's allowance:
- DCode Coding Plan holders: DCode draws the Coding Plan first. It is the largest allowance we sell, with per-model windows plus a combined cap across both models.
- raven subscription without the Coding Plan: DCode draws your raven allowance at a 0.3 weighting, because coding work is cache-heavy. Every 1,000 tokens DCode uses deducts 300 from your raven allowance.
#Credits mode
Switch the billing source to credits and DCode bills prepaid API credits instead, at the per-token API prices, through a key that DCode provisions on your account automatically. This is useful when a machine outlives its plan allowance and you want to keep working at pay-as-you-go rates without upgrading, or when you want coding usage strictly separated from your plan allowance.
In credits mode the per-request cost appears in your dashboard credits history, exactly like direct API calls.
#Checking what you are on
- DCode's settings show the active billing source and the current plan.
- Your dashboard shows usage as allowance progress bars per model, for both products.
- When a window runs out, DCode tells you and offers the choice: wait for the automatic reset, top up credits, or upgrade the plan.
