Credits

Credits are the unit of consumption on WithGiga. Every minute a sandbox is running and every AI token processed deducts from your credit balance. When you stop a computer, consumption pauses immediately.

​

Credit sources

Your total available balance is the sum of two pools: Charges draw from plan credits first, then from your prepaid balance.

​

What consumes credits

​

Runtime

Credits are deducted for every minute a sandbox is active (provisioned and running). The rate depends on the instance tier: Stopping a deployment pauses the runtime clock. Storage costs (keeping a stopped deployment’s disk) are minimal and listed on your usage page.

​

AI tokens

Claude API calls — for every screenshot the agent analyzes and every action it decides — are billed at cost and shown separately as “AI” charges in your usage history.

​

Monitoring usage

The Usage & Billing page shows:

• Remaining balance — current plan credits + prepaid balance
• Spend by type — runtime vs AI breakdown
• Burn rate — percentage of available credits used in the current period
• Usage chart — daily spend over the selected time range
• Ledger — line-by-line record of every charge

​

Preventing unexpected charges

• Always set a duration when creating a deployment. The sandbox is automatically stopped at expiry.
• Enable auto-stop via the duration parameter in the API or the timeout field in the dashboard.
• Terminate deployments programmatically when your agent’s goal completes.
• Enable auto-reload to keep a minimum balance and avoid mid-task interruptions.
