What Are Credits?
Credits are the billing unit for Claude Code API. When you make API requests, credits are deducted from your balance based on token consumption.
Usage Dashboard
Your usage is visible in the ClaudeStore dashboard, where you can see:
- Total credits consumed
- Per-key usage breakdown
- Request history and token counts
- Cost per request
Per-Key Limits
You can set credit limits on individual API keys to control spending:
- Set maximum credit consumption per key
- Monitor approaching limits in the dashboard
- Keys automatically stop working when their limit is reached
Set per-key limits to prevent unexpected charges, especially for development or testing keys.
