Knowing what you have left should not require opening a billing page. The balance now lives where you work.
The credits pill
A blue credits pill sits in the editor header and on the projects page. Opening it shows a breakdown: what is available, what is left this month with its reset date, and your lifetime balance. From there you can reach a Token Usage view listing what each Vibe session and generation cost, and an Add Credits flow.
The panel had a few rounds of correction. It used to render inside the header's clipped area, so clicking the pill appeared to do nothing. The breakdown is opaque rather than see-through, the balance reads as one line with the bucket in brackets, like "12,000 (lifetime)", with a compact monthly and lifetime row only when both exist. The note about spend order moved into a tooltip, and the credits icon is a faceted diamond everywhere the pill appears.
Buying more
Add-on credit packs are one-time purchases through Dodo checkout: 5,500 credits for $5, 12,000 for $10, or 32,500 for $25. They are lifetime credits, they never expire, they are granted the moment payment clears, and they are clawed back on a refund.
The pricing page gained a top-up section for the same packs, and switching plans now has a confirm step showing exactly what is due today.
Running low
Dropping under 500 credits sends a one-time email with a top-up link, so you find out before a Vibe turn stops mid-edit.
