Credits
The Credits page in Settings shows a complete history of every credit movement on your account. When credits feel like they disappeared faster than expected, this is the page that explains where they went.
Opening the Credits page
Section titled “Opening the Credits page”Open Settings from the user menu, then click Credits in the sidebar (between Subscription and Storage).
The page has two parts:
- Balance card at the top, showing how many credits you have available right now.
- Activity list below, with one row per credit event in reverse-chronological order.
What each row shows
Section titled “What each row shows”Each entry in the activity list is a single credit event:
- Date - relative for the last week (“Today”, “Yesterday”, a weekday), then short month and day for anything older.
- Action - a plain-English label for what happened: “Generated a course”, “Translated to French and Spanish”, “Monthly refill”, “Top-up purchase”, and so on.
- Amount - signed. A negative number for credits used, a positive number for credits added (refills, top-ups, and grants are highlighted so they stand out as you scroll).
- Balance after - the running balance the moment that event landed.
For translations, the row also lists the languages you translated to. For narration, it shows the duration of the voice-over.
The list loads 25 rows at a time. Click Load more to fetch the next page.
Personal accounts
Section titled “Personal accounts”If you’re not in a team workspace, the page shows your account on its own:
- The balance card reflects your personal pool: monthly credits plus any top-up credits still on hand.
- The activity list shows every credit event tied to your account: every AI feature you’ve used, every monthly refill, every top-up purchase, and any credits granted manually by Slate support.
There are no tabs and no filters. The list is just your history, top to bottom.
Team workspaces
Section titled “Team workspaces”When you’re working in a team workspace, the Credits page reflects the team’s pooled credits rather than your personal pool.
Editors
Section titled “Editors”If you’re an editor on the team, the page works like the personal view, with one important difference: the balance card shows the team’s shared pool, and the activity list shows the credits you personally spent against that pool. You don’t see what teammates did.
The balance-after number on each row is the team’s running balance at the time you spent the credits, so you can see how your activity affected the shared pool.
Admins and owners
Section titled “Admins and owners”If you’re a team admin or the team owner, the Credits page gains a My usage / Team usage tab toggle.
- My usage - the same view editors see. Team balance up top, your own credit activity below.
- Team usage - the team’s full credit history. Every row shows which member spent the credits, so you can see at a glance who is using the workspace’s credits. Monthly refills and top-up purchases appear here too, attributed to the workspace rather than to any one member.
If a member has left the team, their past activity stays in the team history and is attributed to “Former member”.
Plan availability
Section titled “Plan availability”The Credits page is available on every plan that has a credit balance, including Free. The activity history is automatically recorded as you use AI features, so the page populates itself.
