# How do credits work?

Magica uses a credits-based system to allocate AI supercomputing resources fairly among users. Credits are not a static, predetermined number for each task but rather reflect the computational load for each AI request.

* When you use any AI feature (e.g., image generation, headshot creation, or advanced GPT tasks), credits are deducted based on the processing power and time needed.
* Just like a bank balance, any unused credits will keep accumulating in your account, ready for you to use anytime.
* You can also stock up on additional credits—they never expire!
* You can always track usage at [https://magica.com/usage](https://magica.com/usage) to see a breakdown of credit consumption.

**Troubleshooting & Tips**

* If your credits seem to be getting used faster than normal, check if you’re using higher-computation features, such as headshot generators or certain video generators.
* If usage is higher than expected, ensure you’re not mistakenly running tasks in multiple tabs.
