> How AI credits work — the weekly allowance, what a conversation costs, when the balance resets — and the other limits that protect your business.

AI usage is metered in **credits**. Every business gets a weekly allowance, shown in the chip at the top of the assistant, so you always know where you stand.

## The weekly allowance

- Every business receives **200 credits per week** (plans can carry a higher allowance).
- The week is anchored to the moment the business signed up: a business created on a Monday at 14:30 renews every Monday at 14:30.
- At renewal the balance **resets** to the allowance — unused credits do not roll over.
- The chip shows **Renews …** with the next reset time.

## What things cost

A credit is worth one cent of AI usage. A short question with a small report costs a fraction of a credit; a long conversation with several reports or images costs more. The exact charge for each reply is deducted as it happens; the balance in the chip is live.

When the balance reaches zero, the assistant stops until the next renewal (or a grant from support). Everything else in OneBooks keeps working.

## Other limits

- A **daily message cap** per business against runaway use.
- Conversations are capped at a number of tool calls per reply; the assistant will ask you to narrow a request rather than run forever.
- For external agents over MCP: 120 requests per minute per address and a weekly call cap per business, on the same renewal cycle. See [Connect Claude or ChatGPT](https://docs.getonebooks.com/ai/mcp/).
