DIJJI.ai runs on credits. You keep a balance, work draws it down, and a few simple thresholds decide when you can start something new. This page explains the whole picture so the numbers on the billing page make sense.
What a credit is
A credit is one US cent. One hundred credits is one dollar. You’ll rarely see the word “credit” on its own — balances and charges are shown to you as plain dollar amounts, like $42.50. Think of credits as the unit underneath and dollars as what you read.
The balance
Your balance is a single pool of money held by the organization. It is not per project or per team — one balance funds every project in the organization, and every run spends from it.
You’ll find the balance on the Billing page, under Settings, on the Current Balance card. Alongside it, This Month Spending shows what you’ve spent so far this month. Both are visible to every member of the organization. The Balance card itself lives in the Organization scope of the Usage screen and is shown to admins only — members see an “Ask an admin to manage credits for your organization.” placeholder there instead.
What charges look like
You don’t pay for a task up front. Credits are spent as a run does the work — a run draws down the balance step by step as it plans, writes code, and moves through your pipeline. A run that ends early costs less than one that travels the whole pipeline. A few kinds of run are free — notably the Syncing Dijji task that refreshes DIJJI.ai’s view of your code doesn’t draw down the balance at all.
Money shows up in two separate places:
- Credits & Adjustments, on the Billing page — a dated list of changes to the balance that aren’t run spend: top-ups, refunds, promotional credits, and corrections. Each row shows the date, the type, an amount (green for money in, red for money out), and the balance after.
- Run spend — what runs actually cost, shown as charts on each project’s and task’s Reports tab and on the Usage screen (Organization / By team / Me scopes), broken down by organization, team, project, and task, with a date-range selector and a ranking of the top projects by spend. (The separate Governance tab is a delivery report, not a spend view — see Read your usage charts.)
The minimum balances
Two thresholds gate new work. They exist so a run never starts without enough credit to make meaningful progress:
| To do this | You need a balance of at least |
|---|---|
| Create a project | $100.00 |
| Start a task | $10.00 |
If your balance is below the threshold, DIJJI.ai blocks the action and tells you the minimum required and your current balance. Top the balance back up and the action becomes available again.
Low-balance warnings
As the balance gets low, DIJJI.ai warns you before it runs out. The balance card turns amber once you drop to the warning threshold ($50.00 by default) and shows a rough runway — an estimate of how many days the balance will last at your recent rate of spend. When it reaches zero, the card reads Out of credits.
If the balance empties while a run is working, the run doesn’t fail — it pauses in the Waiting for Payment state and holds its place. Add credits and it resumes from the next step, repeating nothing. See Run states for how that pause behaves.
The daily spending limit
An admin can set a daily spending limit under Settings — a cap on how much the organization spends in a single day. New runs are blocked once the day’s spend reaches the limit, and the limit resets at midnight UTC. Set it to zero for no limit. It’s a guardrail against a surprise day of spend, separate from the balance itself.
Adding credits
Topping up the balance is handled through DIJJI.ai support for now. If your balance is low or empty, reach out and the credits will be applied to your organization — they’ll then appear in the Credits & Adjustments list.
In short: one balance per organization, measured in dollars, drawn down as runs work. Keep it above $100 to create projects and above $10 to start tasks, watch the amber warning, and set a daily limit if you want a ceiling on spend.
