What are Credits?

- Editor
- Inline Chat
- Ask mode
- Agent mode
- Quest
- Agent mode
- Experts mode
- Knowledge Engine
- RepoWiki
- Knowledge cards
Credit sharing rules for suite subscriptions
Starting from June 20, 2026, Credits obtained through a Qoder CN Series subscription are shared as follows:
- Personal Free, Personal Pro, and Personal Pro+: Credits are shared across Qoder CN Desktop, the JetBrains plugin, QoderWork CN, Qoder CLI CN, and Qoder CN Mobile.
- Teams and Enterprise VPC: Credits are currently shared between QoderWork CN and Qoder CLI CN. IDE and JetBrains support is coming soon.
Deduction rules
The system consumes Credits with the earliest expiration date first to help you maximize resource utilization.
Failed requests
You are not charged for failed AI model calls. Credits are deducted only for successful requests.
