📋 Overview
The Search Atlas Growth plan includes a set of monthly credits across three quota types, plus a one-time promotional bonus for customers who sign up on an annual billing cycle. This article explains exactly what you receive and how to verify your allocation.
💡 Your Monthly Credit Allocation
Every billing cycle, your Growth plan account is refreshed with the following credits:
- AI Generation Quota: a monthly allotment for standard AI content generation tasks (exact amount shown on your Billing page under Plans & Top-ups)
- AI Premium Quota: a separate monthly allotment reserved for advanced AI outputs, including long-form content generation and premium model requests (exact amount shown on your Billing page under Plans & Top-ups).
- Hyperdrive Credits: a separate monthly allotment applied toward high-speed content workflows and bulk processing tasks powered by Hyperdrive (exact amount shown on your Billing page under Plans & Top-ups).
These credits reset automatically at the start of each new billing period. Unused credits do not roll over to the following month.
🎁 Annual Signup Bonus Credits
Customers who purchase the Growth plan on an annual billing cycle receive a one-time promotional bonus added to their account at the time of signup. The bonus allocation is:
- Annual signup bonus: an additional one-time credit bonus across all three quota types — the exact amounts are confirmed on your account’s Billing page under Plans & Top-ups after signup
These bonus credits are added once and are separate from your recurring monthly allocation. Unlike monthly credits, bonus credits do not expire and are consumed before your regular monthly credits each cycle.
🔍 How to Verify Your Current Quota
To check your current credit balances and confirm your bonus credits were applied correctly, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- Click on your avatar in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
- Select Billing from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Plans & Top-ups tab.
- Review the credit summary table, which displays your current monthly balance, bonus balance, and next reset date for each quota type.
If the bonus credits are not visible within 24 hours of completing your annual signup, there may be a processing delay or an issue with your order confirmation.
⚙️ How Credits Are Consumed
Understanding credit consumption order helps you get the most from your allocation:
- Bonus credits are always used first, before your monthly credits are drawn down.
- Each quota type is tracked independently — using AI Premium Quota does not affect your AI Generation Quota balance, and vice versa.
- Hyperdrive Credits are only consumed when you run a Hyperdrive-specific workflow; standard tasks do not draw from this pool.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do monthly credits roll over if I don't use them all?
No. Monthly credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Only your one-time annual bonus credits persist until they are fully used.
Can I purchase additional credits if I run out mid-month?
Yes. Credit top-ups are available directly from the top-right avatar menu under Billing → Plans & Top-ups. Select the quota type you need and follow the on-screen prompts to add credits instantly.
I signed up annually but don't see my bonus credits. What should I do?
First, allow up to 24 hours for the credits to appear. If they are still missing after that window, use the support channel below so our team can investigate your order.
