Path: Console → Subscription /console/subscription
What it does
Subscribe to admin-configured periodic plans (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) — auto-renew, fixed quota. Best for steady usage.
Subscription vs. pay-as-you-go
| Subscription | Pay-as-you-go | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Fixed amount per period | By real token consumption |
| Quota | Resets every period (use it or lose it) | Permanent (does not expire) |
| Best for | Predictable, steady usage | Sporadic or irregular use |
| Renewal | Automatic | Manual |
The two work together — subscription balance is consumed first, then any further usage falls to your pay-as-you-go balance.
