Larger top-ups yield bonus credit. Adding $50 gives you a 5% bonus. Adding $100 grants a 10% bonus. Adding $200 or more provides a 15% bonus. These bonuses apply instantly to your account balance. They boost your effective token supply.

Rate Limits & Quotas
Each key allows 300 requests per minute. You can send 8 concurrent requests simultaneously. The maximum request body size is 8 MB. These limits protect the infrastructure. You can generate a new key if you need to reset your quota.
Refund & Expiration Policy

Common questions
Does the openai compatible API charge for failed requests?
No. If your request fails due to a server error or timeout, you are not charged for the input tokens used. You only pay for successful completions and the tokens consumed by them. This keeps your costs predictable.
How do I top up my account balance?
Navigate to the dashboard and select the crypto payment option. Send USDT on the TRC20 network or USDC on the Base network. Enter any whole amount from $20 to $500. Your balance updates automatically upon confirmation.
What happens to my unused credit?
Your credit never expires. It stays in your account until you decide to spend it. You can top up again at any time without losing your previous balance. This is ideal for long-term projects.
Is there a monthly fee for using the API?
No. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges. You pay only for the tokens you actually use. This model eliminates the risk of paying for idle capacity or unused monthly allowances.
