Chief keeps your credit balance one click away. Check it before a big task so you know you have room to work.

Check your personal balance and usage

Chief billing - the Credit Balance in the Command Center
  1. Open Settings and go to the Billing section.
  2. At the top, read the plan header — it shows your current plan name and a short description.
  3. Below it, find the Credits Balance row (coin icon). It shows your available credits and the percentage remaining, for example “12,400 credits available (62%)”.
  4. Read the Usage This Month row (trending-up icon). It shows credits used and a progress bar, for example “7,600 credits used (38%)”.
ℹ️ Good to know: The balance color is a quick health signal — green means you have plenty (65%+ remaining), amber means you’re getting low (21–64%), and red means you’re nearly out (20% or less).

Check a project’s balance

When you work inside a project, the credits may come from a different balance than your personal one — for example, the organization that pays for the project.
  1. Open the project, then open its Billing tab.
  2. Read the Balance field for that project’s available credits, and the Plan type field for the plan funding it.
  3. If the project is paid for by someone else, you’ll see who it’s Powered by or Billed to, and a “Different from your personal plan” note when it doesn’t match your own plan.
