Credit Confirmation
When you trigger an AI operation that costs a significant number of credits, Proseweave shows a quick confirmation dialog so you always know what you're spending.
When You'll See It
The confirmation dialog appears when both of these conditions are true:
- The operation costs 5 or more credits
- Your remaining credit balance is below your plan's threshold
| Plan | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Free | 50% remaining |
| Starter | 20% remaining |
| Pro | 20% remaining |
| Max | 15% remaining |
Since Haiku operations cost only 2 credits, they never trigger a confirmation dialog — they're always below the 5-credit minimum.
In practice, this means:
- Sonnet (7 cr) and Opus (35 cr) operations show a confirmation when you're running low
- Cover generation (12 cr) shows a confirmation when you're running low
- Haiku (2 cr) always proceeds instantly
The Confirmation Dialog
The dialog shows:
- Credit cost — how many credits this operation will deduct (e.g., "This will use 7 credits")
- Remaining credits — your current balance and monthly budget (e.g., "93 / 570 credits remaining")
If you're running very low, the dialog highlights this with a warning and suggests upgrading your plan.
"Don't Ask Again This Session"
Each confirmation dialog includes a "Don't ask again this session" checkbox. When checked:
- The dialog won't appear again during your current browser session
- Operations proceed instantly
- The setting resets when you close the browser tab or start a new session
This is useful when you're in a flow state and don't want repeated confirmations.
Credits Exhausted
If your credits are fully used, the operation is blocked with a clear message:
- Shows your current usage vs. your monthly budget
- Suggests upgrading your plan for more credits
- You can still use non-AI features normally
Near-Limit Badge
When your credits reach 80% usage, a small badge appears in the header bar showing "Credits: N left". Clicking the badge takes you to the Credit Usage page for a detailed breakdown.
Covered Operations
The following operations check your credit balance before running:
| Location | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
| Manuscript toolbar (Continue, Rewrite) | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Structured Rewrite panel | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Scene cards (Generate Scene) | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Act cards (Expand Outline, Suggest Summary) | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Chapter cards (Suggest Beats) | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Rewrite Options panel | Model-dependent (2–35 cr) |
| Cover page (Generate Cover) | 12 credits |
The credit cost depends on your selected AI model: Haiku = 2, Sonnet = 7, Opus = 35. Cover generation is always 12 credits regardless of model settings. See Pricing & Plans for full credit details and Style Guide — AI Models for model configuration.
