The bottle on this desk is also a gauge: you can see at a glance how much is left and how fast it is moving. Credit spending deserves the same visibility, and this studio provides it — every job prints its exact cost before it runs, and the craft is mostly in reading that print.
The standard still is the steady current: 6 credits, flat, made for proving a character and building a series. The premium still at 41 credits is a surge — worth it for the frame that fronts a pack, wasteful for daily work. Edits at 21 and face swaps at 26 are the repair currents, spent on frames that already earned their place. Upscalers, at 61 for images and from 101 for video, are the last of the bottle: delivery only, never discovery.
Video quotes are calculated per job by duration and resolution, and they are the easiest to misread by skimming. The figure is printed before you confirm; check whether this clip, at this length, earns its draw on the bottle.
Nothing at this desk charges silently, and a failed job refunds itself. The only way to drain the bottle early is to stop reading the gauge.
