Usage ledger and invoices

The billing overview is the practical ledger for a workspace. It summarizes plan state, remaining credits, frozen credits, usage, top-up balance, and invoice access.

Billing overview

Use the overview to check:

• Active plan.
• Available credits.
• Frozen credits.
• Credits used in the current cycle.
• Renewal date.
• Top-up credit balance.
• Usage over time.
• Usage by project.
• Usage by member.

The overview is workspace-specific. If you belong to more than one workspace, confirm the workspace in the sidebar before comparing usage or invoices.

Usage by project

Project usage helps identify which productions consumed credits. Use it when you need to reconcile a client job, agency workspace, or internal production budget.

Usage can include work from several stages:

• Planning and blueprint work.
• Narration.
• Music.
• Image generation.
• Video clip generation.
• Assembly.
• Render attempts.
• Retries that perform new provider work.

Completed assets are reused where the system can resume from recoverable state. A retry should not automatically repeat every upstream cost.

Usage by member

Member usage helps workspace owners understand who initiated work. It is useful for:

• Shared agency workspaces.
• Client-facing teams.
• Internal chargeback.
• Investigating unexpected credit usage.

Member usage should be read as operational attribution, not as a complete creative audit. The project history and Studio messages provide more context for what happened inside a project.

Frozen credits

Frozen credits represent credits reserved for in-progress work. They reduce the available balance while a production or render is active.

If a run fails, resumes, or settles, the frozen amount can change as the backend records what work actually happened.

Invoices

The billing area exposes invoice access for workspace billing. Use invoices for:

• Accounting records.
• Refund requests.
• Subscription verification.
• Top-up purchase reconciliation.

For support, include the invoice number, workspace name, and the relevant project link when the invoice relates to production work.

Top-up ledger behavior

Top-up purchases are tracked separately from plan credits. Onira spends plan credits first, then top-up lots by expiry order.

This means a workspace can have:

• Monthly plan credits that reset at renewal.
• Top-up credits that remain after renewal.
• Multiple top-up lots with different purchase dates.

Do not assume the visible total all expires at the same time.
