Sider Credits Calculation Rules

Our credit system has been updated as of June 2026. The rules that apply to you depend on your plan:
  • Legacy plans (previous Starter, Basic, Professional, Unlimited, Plus, Ultra, etc.): The detailed credit deduction rules below still apply to you.
  • Current plans (Nano, Lite, Pro, Max): Credits are deducted dynamically based on the actual number of tokens used. The more tokens you use, the more credits are deducted; the fewer tokens you use, the fewer credits are deducted. You can view your detailed credit deduction records at any time in > Credits log.> Credits log.

Usage Calculation Rules of Legacy Plans

⚠️ The following deduction table applies to legacy plans only (Basic / Advanced / Elite credits). Current plan users (Credits) don't need to reference this table — check My Account > Billing > Credits log for real-time deduction records.
