The AI balance pays only for AI operations. It is separate from course/tutoring earnings and from the amount available for payout.

Step 1. Open Finances and identify the correct balance

Click Finances. Read the AI balance, AI expense for the current month, available earnings, and payout balance as separate figures. Adding AI credit does not increase withdrawable earnings.

Finance overview
AI balance and earnings available for payout are separate balances.

Step 2. Open the top-up dialog

Click Top up AI balance. Choose only a method shown for your account, enter the displayed amount or package, review the total, and complete the provider flow. Do not refresh during payment confirmation.

Step 3. Redeem a promo code when you have one

Find Promo code, enter the code exactly as received, and confirm once. Codes can have an expiry date, activation limit, account restriction, or one-use rule. An invalid or already-used message means the balance was not credited.

Promo-code field
Enter an eligible promo code exactly once.

Step 4. Read AI expense history

Open History. Credits increase the balance; debits identify the AI operation. A course from description can create several task rows, while transcription, exercise generation, cover generation, and AI review can have separate costs. Compare date, description, amount, and resulting balance instead of estimating from the final object alone.

History shows credits and task-level AI debits.

Step 5. Match a charge with its task

Open AI tasks and the corresponding details. Match task type and timestamp with the finance row. If a task failed, read its detail before retrying. Contact support with task and transaction identifiers, never passwords or payment credentials.
