Perfect! Now I have enough information. Let me provide a succinct explanation:

##Pricing & Rate Limits

Credit System:

  • Users have two credit types: Standard and Premium
  • Credits are consumed based on LLM token usage with a tiered cost:
    • < 10K tokens = 1 credit
    • 10K-50K tokens = 2 credits
    • 50K tokens = 3 credits

Free Plan:

  • 5 standard credits per day

Pro Plan:

  • $10/month base
  • 100 standard credits per day
  • 200 premium credits per month ($5/month extra for 50-unit billing blocks)

Rate Limiting:

  • Implemented via the billing system—users can't perform actions (like creating posts or comments) if they lack sufficient credits
  • Errors thrown: "Insufficient credits. Please upgrade your plan."
  • Premium users get higher credit allocation than standard users

The system is built on Autumn, a billing framework that tracks feature usage and enforces limits based on subscription tier.
