- The allowance resets each month on your personal billing date (the day your
membership payment recurs) — not on a fixed calendar day.

- When it's exhausted, requests pause until the next cycle.
### Need more than the allowance?
Members can buy **credit packs** — non-expiring credits that kick in
automatically when your monthly allowance runs out:
- Credits **never expire**. Unused credits carry over month to month.
- They're drawn only after the monthly allowance is exhausted, so your
allowance always gets used first.
- Buy a credit pack on our
[Open Collective page](https://opencollective.com/inference-cooperative/contribute)
(choose the "Credit pack" option). Credits are applied to your account
automatically — usually within minutes.
- Credit packs are for members. If you buy one before joining, we'll hold it
and it will be applied to your account when you join (or refunded if you
prefer — just email info@inference.coop).
You can see both buckets — allowance left this cycle and non-expiring credits —
on the [Member Dashboard](https://dashboard.inference.coop).
