Full usage terms
1,900 base AI credits per granted seat per month; 1,900 total. One AI credit equals $0.01 USD; credit cost varies by model and task. Credits are pooled organization-wide; admins control models, budgets and paid overage. Code completions and next edit suggestions remain unlimited and do not consume credits. Current model list is a verified subset of the official plan matrices, not an exhaustive list; feature and administrator restrictions apply. Fable model data is retained for safety classification by default; any time-limited enterprise ZDR exemption requires approval and model enablement. No annual price or discount is established by these current sources.
