Credits

Credits are a pay-as-you-go balance on your AnonPaste account. They are used when you exceed certain monthly quotas (for example Developer API calls over your plan’s free allowance).

What credits are used for

Common uses include:

Developer API overage after monthly free tier limits (see Rate limits)
Bandwidth-related redemptions where offered in the product

Exact costs per action appear in the app when you approach limits.

When credits run out

If your Developer API quota is exhausted and you have no credits, additional requests may return 429 Too Many Requests until you buy credits or wait for the monthly reset.
