Automatic search runs only locally usable entitled providers selected for the query. search_providers without a provider list uses every usable entitled account provider. Both reserve the full relevant quote and charge successful provider tariffs. The limits above apply only to explicit search_providers lists.
What 300,000 credits can fund
- 1,200 OpenAlex calls
- 600 DataForSEO calls
- 400 Yep calls
Mixed-provider requests consume the sum of successful provider tariffs. Automatic search also charges actual provider-selection usage.

Automatic provider selection
OpenAI Decisions (gpt-6-luna) charges 6,000 credits per 1 million standard input tokens, 600 per 1 million cached input tokens, and 7,500 per 1 million cache-write tokens. Output tokens cost zero credits.
Catalog rates are USD $0.10 for standard input, USD $0.01 for cached input, and USD $0.125 for cache writes per 1 million tokens, converted at 60,000 Mesh Credits per USD. Automatic search reserves the bounded maximum, then settles actual input and cache usage.
Tariff increases are announced 30 days before they take effect unless a provider must be disabled for an emergency. Decreases can take effect immediately.

Questions
What counts as a charge?
A provider charge applies only after that provider returns a successful outcome. X is charged per post returned. Automatic search also charges actual OpenAI Decisions input and cache usage.
What happens when a provider fails?
Failed and skipped provider calls cost zero. Successful peer results remain available.
Which balance is spent first?
Monthly plan credits are spent before purchased credits because monthly credits reset.
What happens when credits run out?
Search stops after non-secret quote construction but before any credential envelope is read or provider work begins. Add credits or wait for a paid renewal.
Do top-up credits expire?
No. Purchased credits remain available after subscription cancellation.
Where do I change or cancel a subscription?
Use Stripe Customer Portal from the Billing page.
Can provider tariffs change?
Yes. Increases normally appear here and in Billing 30 days before their effective date.
Start with the plan that fits your provider access.
You can add purchased credits whenever you need more usage.
